Morgane Baldaccini
Role
Postdoc, approximately fourth year.
Expertise
- RNA biology.
- Biochemistry.
- Excellent experimentalist.
- Does not currently serve as a major mentoring node.
Main Project
ADAR1 licensing during viral infection.
Working Model
During viral infection, RNA-induced silencing machinery and/or additional RNA-binding proteins may become licensing factors for ADAR1 activity. The project is still being mechanistically fleshed out but is provocative and central to the lab's RNA-regulation portfolio.
