The Martinez lab studies RNA regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression. We focus on mRNA processing, RNA modifications and their roles in development and disease.
Our Research PublicationsWe are enthusiastic about training and working with the next generation of scientists. We welcome colleagues with diverse experiences, backgrounds, and skill sets. If you are curious about RNA and want to engage in stimulating research in a supportive and inclusive environment, join us. We are currently hiring at all levels.
