Welcome to the Maher Lab
Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent an emerging and under-studied class of transcripts with critical roles in human cancers. Therefore, our lab is dedicated to the discovery and characterization of novel lncRNAs, elucidating lncRNA functionality, and assess their clinical applicability. We are an integrated team of experimental and computational biologists that is tackling these issues by combining the analysis of large-scale genomics data with molecular biology, cellular biology, and biochemistry.
News & Publications
Jessica presents "Identification and functional analysis of lncRNA associated with metastatic colorectal cancer" at The Graduate Association of Latinx, Native American, and Caribbean Students (GALNACS) and the Association of Black Biomedical Graduate Students (ABBGS).
Jessica is also awarded NCI Transition Career Development Award to Promote Diversity. Congrats Jess!
