Principal Investigator

Postdoctoral Associate

Yanhua obtained her Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yanhua brings together diverse scientific disciplines to uncover the intricate roles of m6A in the adult cerebellum.

Outside the lab, Yanhua enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen and hiking scenic trails.

Postdoctoral Associate

Hengyi obtained her Ph.D. from Peking University, China.

Hengyi studies structural mechanisms of non-coding RNA and the role of RNA modification in development and disease using biochemistry, biophysics, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM. Hengyi has a joint appointment with the Klein lab.

Outside the lab, she likes to hike

Graduate Student

Azime is a visiting PhD student from İzmir Institute of Technology, Türkiye. 

Her research focuses on how METTL3 phosphorylation influences gene expression by affecting both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation through m6A RNA modifications. 

Away from the bench, she enjoys scuba diving, snowboarding, hiking, yoga, and exploring new places.

Postdctoral Associate

Marcelo is native of Buenos Aires, Argentina. He obtained his Ph.D. in biological sciences from the University of Buenos Aires.

Marcelo investigates how RNA modifications are regulated by upstream signaling pathways and their role in homeostasis and disease using multidisciplinary approaches.

When he's not doing science, he enjoys going to the movies, swimming at the beach, meeting with friends, meditating, solving Sudokus, and listening to audiobooks.
