Colin Conine is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the functions of small RNAs in fertility, inheritance, and development. Conine's lab investigates how RNA molecules present in sperm can transmit non-genetic information to progeny, influencing offspring phenotype. His work explores small RNAs that regulate gene expression in the male germline, supporting spermatogenesis and fertility. The lab employs state-of-the-art genomic and molecular biology techniques across multiple model systems including mice and C. elegans to understand these processes. Conine's rotation projects examine the role of sperm-transmitted small RNAs in embryonic gene expression and development, as well as the conservation of sperm RNAs across species. His research aims to uncover novel imprinted genes and the effects of assisted reproduction technologies on embryonic development and offspring phenotype.
