I am a student at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and feel thrilled to be a part of an exciting research environment. My main research focus is to understand the role of microRNAs in maintaining stem cell pluripotency and initiating differentiation to form various embryonic lineages. I am currently being supervised by Professor Allan Bradley and Dr. Anton Enright.
I am trying to combine a dual experimental-computational approach to decipher the function of individual microRNAs in biological pathways operating inside stem cells. I have generated certain hypotheses for microRNA functions computationally and it would be really exciting to see if I can verify the same experimentally.
