Biography

Professor Rebecca Mosher is a Tutorial Fellow at Pembroke College, University of Oxford, specializing in Molecular Plant Biology. Her research focuses on small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and their roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation across various eukaryotes. Originally identified in plants, siRNAs have been demonstrated to play crucial roles in biological processes, development, environmental response, and disease. Her lab specifically investigates the synthesis and action of siRNAs associated with RNA-directed DNA methylation, with a particular emphasis on seed development. By combining traditional genetics with comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis, she studies a variety of plant systems to uncover fundamental mechanisms and therapeutic potentials of siRNAs.
