My laboratory is dedicated to uncovering the RNA based-mechanisms that enable cells, tissues, and organisms to adapt and thrive in response to environmental changes from birth and throughout life. We focus on specialized "barrier cells" that are sensitive to environmental changes, to investigate these resilience mechanisms and to understand how evolution has equipped organisms to ensure health and survival.
