The Li Lab

in the Department of Urology and Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, UCSF

Welcome to the Li Lab!

The Li Lab is interested in understanding how small RNA regulates gene expression at the transcriptional level by targeting gene promoter sequences, particularly how small RNA activates gene transcription, a phenomenon termed "RNA activation" (RNAa).
