NCCR "RNA&Disease"
Our Group is part of the external pagenational NCCR initiative “RNA and Disease”.
As part of the network, we operate an RNA synthesis platform to help collaborators access complex RNA structures. See the news releases and the new papers concerning collaborations of our Platform team with the Polacek group in Bern (external pagenews release, external pagepubmed) and the Jinek group at the University of Zurich (external pagenews release, external pagepubmed). Our collaborations include projects related to:
- The role of Muscleblind (MBNL1) in miRNA biogenesis and its effects on myotonic dystrophy and cardiac dysfunction
- Splicing correction of the ferrochelatase gene for treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP)
- Non-canonical mechanisms of miRNA – mRNA regulation.
