Welcome to Batish Laboratory

Our lab is interested in understanding gene expression regulation by exploring different aspects of RNA biology. RNA plays a quintessential role by being a messenger of information from genotype (from DNA) to phenotype (as proteins). All steps in the journey of RNA from synthesis, processing, transport, localization and its eventual translation to form proteins are pivotal in regulating gene expression and hence controlling the fate of the cell.  Our Laboratory is focused on exploring all the stages of life cycle of RNAs. We utilize single molecule resolution imaging of fixed cells and follow the dynamics of RNA in live cells in an attempt to understand biogenesis, post transcriptional modifications, transport, localization and degradation of different species of RNAs in cells. Most recently, we are also exploring the role of different RNA species in cell-cell communication.
