Marlene Oeffinger is an Associate Professor at the University of Montreal, specializing in health and medical sciences, particularly in the regulation and dynamics of RNA maturation pathways. Her research focuses on understanding the temporal and spatial coordination of RNA maturation factors and identifying the underlying control mechanisms that lead to the processing, modification, and assembly of various RNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans. Oeffinger combines proteomic, biochemical, and computational approaches to construct dynamic images of RNA maturation pathways in various cellular contexts and organisms, providing insight into how RNA maturation is connected to other cellular processes, including DNA damage detection and repair pathways, development, and the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). She has been involved in multiple research projects, securing funding from significant Canadian research institutes to further explore RNA-binding proteins and their roles in gene expression pathways.
