Identification and molecular characterization of novel RNA-based therapeutics for cardiac regeneration and repair
Development and application of high-throughput and high-content screening technologies using genome-wide siRNA, miRNA and CRISPR libraries
The research of the Functional Genomics and RNA-based Therapeutics laboratory is focused on two main areas: i) the identification and molecular characterization of novel cellular factors relevant to cardiac regeneration and repair, and the translation of this knowledge into effective RNA-based therapeutic strategies, and ii) the development and application of high-throughput and high-content screening technologies using genome-wide siRNA, miRNA and CRISPR libraries.
i) Novel RNA-based therapeutics for cardiac regeneration and repair
Cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, are the leading cause of death globally. The main area of research of the Functional Genomics and RNA-based Therapeutics laboratory is the identification and characterization of novel cellular factors that control regeneration and repair of cardiac tissue following injury. This is achieved through systematic and unbiased genome-wide experimental approaches such as functional high-throughput screening (HTS) and RNA-seq. Our ultimate goal is to exploit this knowledge to develop novel RNA-based therapeutic strategies able to induce heart regeneration.
ii) High-Throughput and High-Content Screening using genome-wide siRNA, miRNA and CRISPR libraries
An additional area of research of the Functional Genomics and RNA-based Therapeutics laboratory is the development of high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS) technologies and their application to different areas of biomedical research (e.g. regenerative medicine, infection biology, intracellular signaling and cancer). The state-of-the-art high-throughput screening (HTS) platform hosted by the Functional Genomics and RNA-based Therapeutics laboratory at CNC is the first platform in Portugal equipped with the adequate instrumentation, libraries and expertise to perform arrayed human and mouse genome-wide siRNA, miRNA and CRISPR screenings.
