Faculty


A principal aim of the RNA Bioscience Initiative is to foster a collaborative community that supports RNA research within a diverse, multidisciplinary group of scientists and physicians.

The RBI draws its faculty primarily from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus– School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. These faculty comprise investigators from 11 different departments and 19 divisions. In addition, a small number of RBI faculty are drawn from other institutions, including CU Boulder, CU Denver, CSU, National Jewish Health, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Loyola Marymount University.

To join the RBI faculty, please contact David Bentley, RBI co-director, at david.bentley@cuanschutz.edu.
