Professional Statement

The Yu Lab's mission is to better understand dynamical RNA regulation in human health applications and develop therapeutics based on this knowledge. To achieve our goals, we will leverage techniques spanning artificial intelligence (AI), computational biology, bioinformatics, and bioengineering. We are particularly engaged in studying RNAs during their synthesis to reveal insights into their regulation and structure that may be used in disease treatments.
