Guttman Lab

Decoding the roles of non-coding RNAs in shaping nuclear structure and gene expression.

At Guttman Lab, we aim to understand how noncoding RNAs shape dynamic nuclear structure to regulate gene expression. We develop cutting-edge technologies based in biochemistry, cell biology, genomics and computational biology to address these questions.

Our Lab

We seek to understand fundamental principles of biological regulation within the nucleus. Our team of scientists from diverse backgrounds allows us to approach these questions from a holistic perspective with an integrated strategy. We do not make a clear distinction between experimental and computational projects; our projects are goal-centered and use all tools critical for success. When necessary, we develop new tools to answer questions that were previously inaccessible and apply these tools to decipher new paradigms and improve our understanding of essential biological functions.
