Hello everyone! My name is Ana Karina Morao, I am originally from Venezuela and joined Germano Cecere’s lab as a postdoctoral researcher. Before coming to Pasteur, I was in Sevinç Ercan’s lab at New York University, studying the mechanisms underlying genome organization in 3D space. Now, I am excited to explore the contribution of the nuclear small RNA pathway in higher-order genome organization and its impact on gene expression during animal development.
