This NIH-funded research project investigates germ cell biology and molecular processes affecting human health by employing innovative genome editing tools and model systems.
Description
The project aims to understand the mechanisms governing germ cell formation and function, focusing on genome stability, germ cell differentiation, and regulation of mRNA translation and ribosome biogenesis using Drosophila ovary as a model system and advanced genome editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9.
