Role of RNA-binding proteins in cardiomyocyte physiology [ 2017 - 2020 ]

Researchers: Prof Thomas Preiss (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Nicola Smith ,  Prof Matthias Hentze

Brief description Interactions between ribonucleic acids and proteins are of critical importance to gene expression and may also connect it to cell metabolism in unexpected ways. We hypothesise that this is of particular importance in cardiac health and disease. We will employ the tools of proteomics and transcriptomics to characterise the topology and function of RNA-protein interaction networks in heart muscle cells, and thus contribute to the search for better treatment.
