Chase Weidmann, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Biological Chemistry, Medical School RNA Faculty Scholar Department Website Google Scholar We are interested in how cellular signals are propagated through interaction networks at the RNA-protein interface, and how these networks malfunction during cancer and disease. In cancer cells, changes in RNA-binding protein stoichiometry and modification status reorganize the…
