Robin P. Wharton

Robin P. Wharton studies how RNA-binding proteins, such as Pumilio, control gene expression by binding to specific sequences in messenger RNA in the fruit fly (Drosophila) embryo. RNA-binding proteins recognize particular RNA sequences and can turn genes on or off after the RNA has been made, which is important for normal development. This work focuses on molecular genetics and biochemistry of gene regulation during early development.

Publication output has been low and irregular over the last decade, with several years showing no recorded output and a modest, intermittent pace of about one paper per year in recent years.
