Research


The objective of the RNA Bioscience Initiative is to understand the role of RNA in biology, engage in collaborative research, create a fluid pipeline from basic science to clinical diagnostics and therapeutics, and train the next generation of RNA researchers.

Investigators on the CU Anschutz campus have already made important discoveries in the field, covering RNA structure-function, RNA biogenesis, mechanisms of regulation by non-coding RNAs, non-coding RNAs in disease, diagnostics, and therapeutics, cutting-edge RNA technologies and advanced genome-wide computational methods.

The RNA Bioscience Initiative continues to make substantial and sustained contributions to four major research areas:

Regulatory RNAs

RNA and Disease

RNA Technology and Informatics

RNA Clinical Discovery

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 [email protected].
