Our research focuses on the regulation of gene expression by non-coding RNA and how these processes are dysregulated in human disease, specifically cancer.

#horizonslive does evolution ‘break’ entropy via natural selection? If not, might recent tools like CRISPR that enable directed evolution make this a possibility?
Thank you to the @GordonConf for such an amazing and informative conference on #extracellularvesicles! We met some wonderful people and learnt a lot! #GRC #EVs #science #research
