Research summary

This researcher studies how genes are turned on and off inside cells, focusing especially on the molecular machinery that controls RNA production (transcription) during stress conditions like low oxygen (hypoxia) and in diseases such as cancer and HIV. Recent work examines specific protein complexes (like P-TEFb, PAF1C, and SPT6) that regulate whether RNA-copying machinery pauses or continues along DNA, with implications for cancer biology and reactivating dormant HIV for potential treatment strategies.
