Research project

 

G-quadruplexes are highly dynamic small RNA structures, that can be regulators of protein expression, among other functions. We are interested in identifying characteristic structural features using NMR, and using the knowledge gained in conjunction with biochemical assays, we aim to understand its intrinsic dynamic properties.

Behind the Lab Coat: My Inspirations and Passions

Year you joined the Sigel Lab: 2021
Scientist heroes: Marie Curie or Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin
Outside of lab, I enjoy dancing, knitting & crocheting, and relaxing with a nice, warm cup of tea and a good book.
