Orna Issler is an Assistant Professor at New York University, affiliated with the Department of Neuroscience and the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative Care, and Pain Medicine. Her research primarily focuses on non-coding RNAs, which have been historically regarded as 'junk' in transcriptional profiles. She has significantly contributed to advancing the understanding of non-coding RNA, particularly in relation to stress and depression. Her work uncovers the role of long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs in mood regulation, aiming to identify novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for addressing chronic pain and depression—conditions that are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Issler employs an integrated approach that spans both mouse and human studies to investigate how non-coding RNAs contribute to the regulation of stress and pain.
