My lab studies the process of mRNA biogenesis and export through nuclear pores, and the importance of nuclear architecture in gene expression. Another topic concerns the role of non-coding antisense RNAs in transcriptional gene silencing.

Current research can be divided into 3 variations on the theme RNA:

1. Role of ubiquitin in the regulation of mRNP dynamics and export through nuclear pores.
2. Functional relationship between gene expression and intra-nuclear gene positioning: role of nuclear pores in transcription regulation?
3. Importance of non-coding and antisense RNAs in epigenetic control of gene expression through RNAi independent mechanisms.
