Mukherjee Lab

The goal of our research is to understand RNA regulatory networks and their dysregulation in human disease.

One focus area of the lab is determining how RNA regulation  controls the timing of stimulus responses, specifically focusing on adrenal steroid hormone production in human and mouse models.

Another main focus is determining how dyregulation of mRNA translation  mechanisms drives a variety of cancers (multiple myeloma, head and neck cancers, and breast cancer) and how we can target these mechanisms specifically.​

​

The research in the lab relies on generating and analyzing transcriptome-wide datasets. As such, computational biology approaches are a major part of every project.

​

The lab is in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics.

We are members of the vibrant and interactive RNA Bioscience Initiative.
