Since miRNAs bind to imperfect complementary sequences in the 3’UTR of target mRNAs to repress target gene expression [3, 4] [1, 2, 5-9], the 3’UTR has rightly received increased interest recently. A new insight into cancer biology has come with the finding that functional single nucleotide...

Our interest in miRNAs began with a desire to solve the fundamental question of how organs form at the right time during development [1, 4], and this core theme has since led us to a broader interest in the role of miRNAs in human disease and aging [5, 6]. We initially focused on using C. elegans to...

In our laboratory, we study non-coding RNAs, such as miRNAs in basic and translational research. We hope to discover how miRNAs are expressed, what they regulate, how they function, how extensive their reach is, what roles they play in cancer and aging, and then harnessing this new mechanism to...
