Bio
Benjamin Montpetit studies how components of nuclear pore complexes direct and regulate RNA export at a cellular, molecular, and atomic level. Lab members use techniques from cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology, and single molecule imaging with both the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian cell culture models. Ultimately, their research will yield insights into the interplay between nuclear RNA export, gene expression, human biology, and disease.
