Dr. Natoya Peart is interested in understanding how RNA processing and the modulation of RNA processing influences cell fate and contributes to tissue development and disease. RNA processing is a complex multistep process, and these processing events are mediated by the action of RNA binding proteins, RBPs. RBPs are a large diverse class of proteins that bind RNA and mediate splicing, polyadenylation, export, decay and translation amongst other processing events to regulate gene expression. Temporal and spatial gene regulation can be further achieved through tissue specific/cell-type specific expression of RBPs.
