One area of interest is transcriptome-wide analysis of post-transcriptional dynamics via integration of data from diverse high-throughput assays to infer sequence-structure-function relationships. RNA functions we study include RNA-protein interactions, gene expression, and stability or half-life (in vitro<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0in vivo<\/em>). We are also interested in modeling the folding of RNA molecules using both biophysical models and high-throughput experiments, with the overarching goal of advancing the structure-driven discovery and engineering of novel RNAs for therapeutic and biotechnology applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Associate Professor Sharon Aviran Biomedical Engineering 451 E.
