Functions of long noncoding RNAs
We are interested in uncovering functions of long noncoding RNAs in mammalian cells. We are currently specifically focusing on functions in establishment of cell fate in early development and differentiation towards the neuronal and endodermal lineages, in development in vivo, and during regeneration in the peripheral nervous system. In addition, we are interested in changes in lncRNA activity in disease, specifically focusing on cancer.
