Scientific focus areas
The aim of my research is to understand regulatory properties of different RNA modifications. In particular, I am interested in the discovery and characterization of 5’RNA capping with cellular nucleotide containing metabolites, such as FAD, NAD+ and dpCoA, across all kingdoms of life. I recently discovered that the Hepatitis C Virus RNA is 5’FAD capped and going forward I will investigate the molecular mechanisms related to this novel type of 5’RNA cap and how it affects the viral life cycle. In addition, I will focus on the discovery and characterization of metabolite RNA capping in other viruses and bacterial species.
