The Somarowthu Lab

Research Focus

​

Our laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms by which long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate gene expression, cellular function, and disease. We take an interdisciplinary approach that integrates cell biology, biochemistry, genomics, structural biology, and computational analysis to define how lncRNAs interact with proteins, remodel chromatin, and contribute to human disease. Our long-term goal is to identify new RNA-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
