Dr. Doudna's lab pursues mechanistic understanding of fundamental biological processes involving RNA molecules. Research in the lab is currently focused on three major areas: bacterial immunity via the CRISPR system, RNA interference in eukaryotes, and translational control logic. We utilize diverse techniques including X-ray crystallography, high-throughput sequencing, biochemistry, molecular biology, and eukaryotic cell culture.
