Research interests
My laboratory of RNA Biology is interested in the discovery and functional characterization of small RNAs
in pathogenic bacteria as well as of microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs in infected eukaryotic host
cells. We use global approaches including deep sequencing, to identify regulatory RNAs and their targets, and biochemical and genetic analyses to decipher new molecular mechanisms and physiological consequences of RNA-based regulation.
