Miska Group

Non-coding RNA and epigenetics

We are interested in all aspects of gene regulation by non-coding RNA.

Current research themes include:

  • miRNA biology and pathology
  • miRNA mechanism
  • piRNA biology and the germline
  • endo-siRNAs in epigenetic inheritance and evironmental conditioning
  • small RNA evolution
  • the role of RNAi in host pathogen interaction.
