In the recent years, the breakthrough discovery of a new way cell controls its material production have proven once again that biology has yet unexpected things to be found by researchers. Using the round worm as model animal, the discovery of this new pathway called RNA interference or RNAi was acknowledged by the Nobel Committee in 2006 for its real potential in the development of RNAi-related technologies triggers by a small molecules called siRNA that are extremely useful for biology research and for pharmaceutical industries.****Our research group will pursue his research on siRNA-mediated gene regulation using the round worm as a model in order to better understand the details of this biological phenomenom. We believe that our innovative research program will contribute to a better use in the future of the siRNAs as a molecular technology in research laboratories as well as new therapeutic agents.
