Area of Interest/Research Focus:

My research is driven towards understanding the role of RNA homeostasis in the process of aging. Combining C. elegans and mammalian cell culture studies, I am trying to unravel interesting links between various metabolic pathways implicated in longevity and the components of the RNA splicing machinery.
