Mlana Lore is a first year MOLB graduate student. Mlana will be investigating how varying translation efficiency influences NMD. We are so excited to have Mlana in the lab! [Read More]

Gemma (Gem) Martin is a first year BSP student. Gem has bravely taken on a project to enrich for and sequence DUX4 transcript isoforms from FSHD and unaffected myotubes understand which isoforms contribute to FSHD pathogenesis. We are so excited to have them in the lab! [Read More]

It is so bittersweet when a trainee moves on to bigger and better things. We said goodbye to Laura today after two wonderful years in the lab. :’( [Read More]

Check out our latest work on FSHD: The myopathic transcription factor DUX4 induces the production of truncated RNA-binding proteins in human muscle cells! [Read More]

We have been awarded an investigator-initiated research grant by the FSHD Society to support our work on identifying the mechanism by which DUX4 inhibits nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) in the human muscle disease facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). We are grateful for the continued support from the FSHD Society for our... [Read More]
