tRNA Biology
Dr Vincent Kelly
Associate Professor
Biological sciences are witnessing an explosion of new discoveries in recent years, partially as a result of an improved understanding of the genetic code, its regulation and the processes controlling RNA protein translation. Arising from this, are a myriad of new biological therapies, many RNA and nucleic acid based. The real-world application of scientific research is a major interest of mine and has driven the research of my lab to span a mixture of academic and commercial projects in RNA related areas.
Our research focuses on the following areas:
- Cancer RNA therapies
- RNA receptors in male infertility
- RNA modifications in autoimmunity
- CRISPR-Cas9 RNA based animal transgenic technologies
- RNA therapies to treat monogenetic diseases
