The lab develops chemical probes for studying RNA and extracellular vesicles.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating tools to study RNA and extracellular vesicles.
The Analytical Chemistry Lab develops chemical probes, and applications of them, for elucidating the functions of RNA and extracellular vesicles.
Its main targets are non-coding RNA (ncRNA), which is not translated into protein, and extracellular vesicles (exosomes), which contain RNA and play an important role in communication between cells.
For RNA, the lab develops probes for intracellular visualization, detection probes, and fluorescent indicators; for extracellular vesicles, it develops detection probes.
Key terms
- Chemical probe
- A chemical substance that binds to the molecule to be studied. It is used as a tool for detection and for visualization inside cells.
- ncRNA
- A general term for RNA that is not translated into protein. Short for non-coding RNA.
- Extracellular vesicle
- A sac-like particle released by cells. Exosomes contain RNA and play an important role in communication between cells.
