Bioresorbable intestinal devices with embedded resorbable sensors for gastrointestinal monitoring

Swallowable sensors are limited by how long they stay in place. A capsule passes through the gut within a day or two, so it can only take a snapshot when conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease need to be tracked over weeks without the risk of obstruction. Read more

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

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
