The Jeffrey Wilusz lab is interested in the mechanisms and regulation of mRNA metabolism in eukaryotic cells and how these processes influence pathogenesis of human diseases, including cancer, viral infection and myotonic dystrophy. We are also examining how mRNA decay contributes to the achievement and maintenance of pluripotency in stem cells.
