The DasGupta lab studies RNA from multiple perspectives. We are interested in understanding RNA structure, function, and evolution, and how they influence each other. We want to know how RNA molecules behave in the test tube and inside cells. We are curious about how RNA may have laid the foundations for the origins of life ~4 billion years ago and how RNA regulates various cellular processes in life today.
