Research Specialist

The first important occurrence in my life was the fact I was born. Some years later, I got myself in this whole biology business. I started with effort to understand replication of two plasmids from Klebsiella pneumoniae. Then, during my PhD I was introduced to the wonderful world of small RNAs, when I tried to elucidate the role of the small RNA GraL and its role in regulation of GreA protein.

Now I am preoccupied with the mechanisms of recognition between sRNAs and mRNAs and how it all fits into the degradation machinery of the cell. Throw on some translation in the mix and it forms a complicated mess of cellular interactions and regulations that one day may be untangled. I hope to contribute to this achievement.
