Biography

Richard Fahlman is a professor and Department Chair in the Department of Biochemistry. He earned his Ph.D. from Simon Fraser University in 2001. His research focuses on post-transcriptional regulation and the cellular proteome, examining processes that regulate the cellular proteome, including gene silencing by small microRNAs and pathways of protein degradation such as the N-End rule pathway. He is known for his work in proteomic applications involving mass spectrometry and the development of new techniques to study biological systems. His selected publications include significant contributions in the field, such as those examining the molecular basis of post-translational modifications and the dynamics of ribonucleotide recognition in bacteria. Fahlman's work also encompasses the investigation of microRNA biogenesis and its modulation, as well as the regulatory roles of the Hippo pathway effectors in miRNA expression.
