Research Projects

One of the most significant realizations in the field of genome biology over the last two decades has been that the human genome is pervasively transcribed and encodes a large number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). They play critical roles in regulating gene expression across all cellular processes by interacting with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and other coding and non-coding RNAs.

My lab is interested in understanding the role of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and circRNAs as potential therapeutic targets in Cancer (Brain and Oral Cancer) and host-pathogen (virus)  interaction. Our work utilizes cutting-edge technologies from genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and computational biology.

These studies will provide insights into fundamental biological mechanisms and lay the foundation for novel diagnostics and treatments for human diseases.
