After months of preparation, we are finally able to start working in the lab — this is a dry run of bacterial culturing so that we can make lentivirus soon. Looking forward to our more ambitious experiments soon!…Continue Reading It’s our first day of experiments!
The second half of Kevin’s postdoctoral work is now available on bioRxiv. In this work, we describe how neuronal aging leads to the accumulation of double-stranded RNA. This double-stranded RNA binds to the stress-responsive kinase PKR, which in turn triggers chronic stress in aged neurons. The source of endogenous double-stranded RNA is bidirectional transcription of…Continue Reading Our dsRNA and Stress Preprint is Online Today!
We are excited to start our new chapter at the University of Arizona!…Continue Reading The Rhine Lab opens today!
We are excited to join the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology and the Coit Center for Longevity & Neurotherapeutics at the University of Arizona in Summer 2025! Our lab will be located in the Skaggs Pharmaceutical Sciences Building, and our research will focus on neurodegeneration, aging, and RNA biology. The lab will be actively recruiting…Continue Reading The Rhine Lab will open in 2025!
