Our 'Translation' temporary tattoo was designed for the Willis lab to represent their research as part of the Tattoo my Science project.
TranslationDNA includes all the instructions that a cell needs to work. RNA is the draft copy of those instructions that protein-building factories called ribosomes use to translate those instructions into a 'language' a cell can understand - proteins! We are studying how exactly this process of translation happens, and what happens when it goes wrong. We hope to use that information to develop safer and more effective treatments that use RNA.

Willis labPost-transcriptional control of gene expression following toxic injury We are investigating the role of post-transcriptional control in response to toxic injury and how this impacts on therapeutic RNAs. |
