Yeekyung is a graduate student combining strong passion with technical expertise to advance our understanding of mRNA stability. Her research focuses on uncovering unknown mechanisms of 3′ UTR-mediated human mRNA stabilization on a large scale. She utilizes massively parallel reporter assays to screen for mRNA-stabilizing sequences, identify interacting RNA-binding proteins, and define the precise molecular mechanisms driving mRNA stabilization.
