Targets of epithelial microRNAs [ 2012 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Gregory Goodall (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Cameron Bracken

Brief description MicroRNAs are small molecules that modulate the expression of most genes and so affect nearly every biological process and pathology although, they were only discovered in humans less than 10 years ago. The bottleneck in discovering the functions of miRNAs is in identifying their molecular targets, the majority of which remain unknown. We aim to comprehensively identify direct target genes of epithelial-specific microRNAs and to confirm a number of them by gene target validation approaches.
