What we are doing

We are studying gene regulation via RNA molecules toward RNA therapy. Our specific projects include finding therapeutic sgRNAs for cancers, infectious diseases, and regenerative medicine based on TRUE gene silencing, finding plasma RNA markers for cancers, and analyzing novel functional RNAs in germ cells.
