Andrea Kasinski is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Purdue University, specializing in Cancer Molecular Biology. Her research primarily focuses on understanding the roles of microRNAs in cancer development and progression, with an emphasis on translating these findings into clinical applications. The Kasinski Lab investigates the molecular contributions of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, in both normal and diseased cells. Current projects include ligand-mediated delivery of small RNAs, endogenous delivery of RNAs via extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, high-throughput screening for small molecule inhibitors that affect miRNA biogenesis, and identifying miRNAs that mediate drug resistance in different cancer types. Dr. Kasinski received her Ph.D. from Emory University and completed her postdoctoral training at Yale University. She has received numerous awards for her contributions to cancer research, including grants from the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Society.
