Pua Lab

Our lab studies how miRNAs regulate gene expression networks in immunity and extracellular RNA biology. Tweets are my own.

Best Christmas present this year! Go science and RNA. Thanks to the nurses at VUMC who will spend all the holidays vaccinating us.

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. Thrilled to spend the next 5 years studying extracellular RNA in the allergic lung.

Congratulations to our undergraduate research student Grace who has finished up her summer internship program!

[Pua Lab @LabPua]

Check out our recent publication in Cell Reports (Pua et al. 2019.), which was highlighted by the Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium. We demonstrate that infiltrating immune cells release ex-miRNAs and EVs in inflamed tissues to alter the local extracellular environment.

Welcome back Grace! We are glad to have you back for this years' summer internship program.
