NIH grant awarded to University of Georgia for research on spatial genetics of multinucleated cells using genomics and computational biology to understand cell communication and mRNA transport.
Description
This project aims to develop spatial transcriptomics methodologies for syncytial tissues, investigate gene expression coordination in multinucleated cells, and study mRNA transport mechanisms. The research leverages genomics, cell engineering, and computational techniques, focusing on myofiber models to understand intercellular communication and intracellular mRNA trafficking.
