The VintherLab focuses on 3 main research topics:
RNA capping
We are investigating non-canonical ways of RNA 5′ capping. RNA capping plays important roles in RNA stability, translation and Immune recognition.
RNA oxidation
All cells are subject to abundant RNA oxidation. We want to determine how RNA oxidation is used for regulatory purposes.
RNA Modification
We are interested in developing methods for high-through-put identification of RNA modifications.
