This project investigates the fascinating world of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their crucial role in maintaining stem cell pluripotency. While most RNA molecules are known to encode proteins, lncRNAs represent a mysterious class of RNAs that regulate gene expression through various mechanisms. This research focuses on understanding how...

This innovative research project aims to uncover the complex organization of tissues by analyzing spatial gene expression patterns. Using cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics technology, we can now measure gene expression while preserving information about where cells are located within a tissue. This project will adapt and apply advanced analytical methods...
