The Lab for Cellular RNA Biology (LCRB), headed by Dr. Daniel Benhalevy combines advanced transcriptomics and molecular cell biology and biochemistry to reveal how protein-mRNA interactions orchestrate gene expression.

 

At the LCRB we aim to understand how RNA Binding Proteins function and, in parallel, develop novel technology to enable direct measurement of protein-RNA interactions in patient-derived specimens, with clinical implications.
