Research Summary
Before closing his lab, Uttam RajBhandary studied RNA-protein interactions, which play a crucial role in gene expression, gene regulation and development. The many proteins with which tRNAs interact during protein synthesis make them excellent systems for investigating specific RNA-protein interactions. He examined tRNA structure, function and biosynthesis using biochemistry, genetics and
in vivo functional analyses. Uttam RajBhandary is no longer accepting students.
Awards
