Gene regulation by RNA and chromatin

Research in the Grishok laboratory utilizes the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and focuses on new mechanisms of gene regulation by short RNAs and chromatin-modifying complexes. Model organisms, such as C. elegans, are best suited for basic science. Importantly, discoveries made in basic research have the potential to affect translational science and the biotech industry in often-unpredictable ways.
