Andrea L. Kasinski's lab studies small RNA molecules called microRNAs (short genetic regulators that control which genes are turned on or off) and how they can be harnessed or targeted to treat cancer, particularly lung and breast cancers. Their work spans designing chemically modified microRNA therapeutics (such as miR-34a and miR-362-3p) for improved drug delivery and studying epigenetic regulators like KMT5C, an enzyme that modifies chromatin (the packaging of DNA), in relation to cancer drug resistance. Much of the research combines molecular biology techniques with translational, disease-focused applications, including mouse models of lung cancer and treatment-resistant tumors.
