The lab has its first members! Together, our team will work on better understanding how neuronal aging impacts RNA biology. We are really excited to start cell culture and transdifferentiation in the lab soon….Continue Reading New lab members and rotation students!

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…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!
