Research Summary

My research focuses on the reprogramming of gene expression during human pathogenic processes using biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biological approaches. We also integrate numerous Omics (Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics) approaches into our research to understand pathogenic processes at a global scale. Our current projects are mTOR-regulated transcriptome changes and their functional relevance in the control of alternative splicing and polyadenylation of mRNA, regulation of energy homeostasis, and the reprogramming of chromatin modifications.
