Welcome to Kadener Lab

We are a curiosity-driven research group investigating the molecular mechanisms of RNA regulation and biological timing. Our lab explores two frontiers: the functions of circular RNAs (circRNAs) and the molecular and neural underpinnings of circadian rhythms. Using a combination of molecular biology, advanced imaging, genetics, and computational tools, we study how RNA is regulated interms of gene expression, brain function, and organismal behavior across development and aging.
