Liana is a master student in our lab and is interested in the role of RNA modifications regarding cancer cell growth.
To investigate this, Liana uses CRISPR-Cas to target the RNA modifiers in cancers cells and fibroblasts sourced from mice and naked mole rats and then co-cultures these cells in a 3d-environment. This way she is able to look at the interactions between knock-out cancer cells and fibroblasts respectively cancer cells and knock-out fibroblasts.
