Amanda Garner · Ann Arbor, Michigan
Research Focus
Dr. Amanda Garner's lab at the University of Michigan focuses on understanding how RNA-binding proteins interact with RNA molecules in the cell. These interactions are crucial for various biological processes and are involved in diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration. The lab develops new tools to explore these RNA-protein interactions, with the goal of discovering new drug therapies for human health issues.
