Yeo Lab at UC San Diego focuses on hybrid computational and experimental approaches in RNA Biology and Neurobiology. The lab investigates post-transcriptional processing of RNAs through various mechanisms, particularly the role of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) as regulators. Research aims to understand how defects in protein-RNA complexes can lead to human diseases, highlighting RBPs as potential drug targets. The laboratory employs innovative techniques to manipulate RNA processing, including the use of modular assemblies of proteins that interact with RNA. Through meticulous examination of these interactions, the Yeo Lab strives to alter gene regulatory circuits within mammalian cells, paving the way for advancements in therapeutic strategies targeting RNA biology.
