Studying how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control mRNA translation and impact cancer progression

Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)
CRG International PhD Programme 2027
The Gebauer lab studies how RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control mRNA translation and impact cancer progression. We are interested in RBP regulatory networks, which mechanisms RBPs use to regulate translation, and how they can be harnessed for cancer treatment. Read more
