Research summary
AI-generated

Kyle A. Cottrell studies how cells sense and respond to double-stranded RNA, with a particular focus on an RNA-editing enzyme called ADAR1 and its role in cancer, especially triple-negative breast cancer. His work also touches on how cells translate mRNA into protein and how RNA molecules are packaged and transferred between cells via extracellular vesicles. This research could interest students wanting to explore RNA biology, gene regulation, and mechanisms underlying cancer cell survival.

Publication output was low and steady through the mid-2010s to early 2020s, then increased sharply in 2024, suggesting a recent surge in research activity.
