Cross Program Topic RNA@DKFZ

RNA has recently been recognized as an important player in cancer beyond its protein-coding function. Hence, many researchers within the DKFZ are now elucidating the expression, regulation, function and mechanism of short and long non-protein-coding RNAs in different tumor entities.
The RNA@DKFZ initiative brings together these DKFZ scientists interested in the regulation and function of different classes of RNA. Foremost, the researchers within this initiative focus on three research topics:

microRNA expression, regulation & function in cancer
Long non-coding RNA: RNA with structural or regulatory functions
Mechanisms regulating RNA biogenesis, processing, activity or stability

Our principal aims are:

Fostering intramural cooperations - especially beyond the borders of the research programs
Exchanging ideas, methodologies, reagents and expertise among different DKFZ units
Enhancing international visibility for RNA research at the DKFZ
Establishing a critical mass of RNA research at the DKFZ for future network grant applications

Coordinator:

Prof. Dr. Sven Diederichs (B150)
