Education:
B.S., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017
Current Focus:
I am fascinated by the complexity and flexibility of the RNA world, in particular the undiscovered biology about RNAs, transposons and other mysterious elements in the genome, as well as their deep connections. My project is about BC1 RNA, a murine small non-coding RNA that shares sequence homology with tRNA-Ala. It gives rise to ID elements, a number of short interspersed nuclear elements (SINE) with unknown functions.
