The Djuranovic Lab is primarily interested in understanding the mechanisms of post-transcriptional gene regulation. We focus on RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), ribonucleoprotein (RNP complexes) as well as mRNA sequence motifs, all of which control translational efficiency of their target mRNAs or are involved in general RNA metabolism.
