Sidi Chen, PhD

Project title

"Investigation of Dicer as a novel therapeutic route towards the inhibition of tumorigenesis and neoplastic growth"

Dr. Chen aims to understand the relationship between small RNAs and cancer. Small RNAs are important regulators of genetic networks inside the cell; perturbation of these networks can lead to malignant cell growth. His goal is to develop anti-cancer drugs and therapies by targeting the process of small RNA production.
