    Unveiling how our genome is protected

    Conducting research in small RNAs, Dr. Ramesh Pillai attempts to understand how the genome protects itself from an internal threat, namely ‘transposons’ or ‘jumping genes’ which can cause mutations. Awarded an ERC Starting grant in 2010, Dr. Pillai…

    Ageing, cancer and the length of your chromosomes

    The answer to why some people age earlier than others, or why they develop cancer, could lie at the very end sections of our DNA: the telomeres.
