What we study
The lab designs small molecules that bind disease-causing RNAs, starting from genome sequence. Targets include neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases, infections and hard-to-treat cancers. The lab is at UF Scripps in Jupiter, Florida, not on the Gainesville campus.

Current projects
Inforna platform
Combines chemoinformatics and RNA structure to find compounds that bind target RNAs.
RIBOTACs
Small molecules that recruit cellular nucleases to destroy disease-causing RNAs.
