Our Research Mission

In our group, we focus on the noncoding transcriptome and explore new molecular functions of noncoding RNAs and their roles in normal physiology and disease as well as their therapeutic implications.

We use modern molecular biology and analytical techniques together with suitable cell-based, animal and human model systems to study the noncoding transcriptome and its role in human diseases and pharmacotherapy. We seek to identify novel human noncoding RNAs, characterize their molecular and physiological functions and explore their potential therapeutic applications as novel drug targets or biomarkers. With this comprehensive approach we aim to discover and develop novel RNA-based precision therapies for human diseases with a high unmet medical need.
