Vinoth S<\/strong>igamani MTech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PhD Research Scholar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I started my research carrier in Dr. Johnson\u2019s lab as a Student Intern as part of my Master\u2019s program. Thereafter, I continued as a Research Assistant from 2019 to 2021. Since August 2021, I am pursuing my graduate program (Ph.D.) under the guidance of Dr. Johnson. My research is focused on elucidating the role of non-coding RNAs, particularly small Cajal-body associated RNAs (scaRNAs), which play a major role in biochemical modifications (e.g., Pseudouridylation) of Spliceosomal RNAs and may contribute to alternative splicing and maturation of mRNAs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Selene Perales MS, PhD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Post Doctoral Fellow<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My name is Selene G. Perales Sanchez, I completed my Ph.D. studies in Molecular Biology in 2020 from Mississippi State University. I joined Johnson Lab in July 2021 and my current research projects involve exosome studies to elucidate their therapeutic potential and stem cell reprogramming studies with emphasis on the Progeria-derived induced cardiomyocytes. In addition to that project, I am working on elucidating the roles of Lamin A and BANF1 in the cardiovascular disease pathogenesis of progeria patients using an in-vitro cardiac disease model for progeria.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
