Faraz Mardakheh is an Associate Professor specializing in Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. His research primarily focuses on understanding the role of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) in the regulation of RNA molecules and how their dysregulation contributes to cancer progression. His lab investigates the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, aiming to decode the genetic information critical for distinct cell characteristics. Mardakheh utilizes advanced techniques such as proteomics, RNA sequencing, and bioinformatics to elucidate the specific mechanisms by which RBPs influence protein synthesis in cancer cells. The overarching goal of his research is to develop novel therapeutic strategies to combat cancer by targeting the pathways regulated by RBPs. Through his work, he aims to provide a detailed mechanistic understanding of the aberrant activities of these proteins in oncogenesis.
