Research Interests

Our research focuses on the gene expression pathway, and specifically on mRNA dynamics in living cell systems. We study dynamic cell processes on the single-molecule, single-gene and single-cell level using time-lapse fluorescent microscopy and subsequent kinetic analysis.

The primary goals of our research are to understand how genes switch "on" and "off" in normal cells and in cancer cells, how quickly are mRNAs transcribed, the kinetics of the transcription process in vivo, and their travels and destinations as they translocate within the cell under normal conditions and during stress.
