Claus D. Kuhn, Principal Investigator
Claus is and always has been interested in understanding how RNAs and proteins interact and how these interactions bring about biological function. He is an X-ray crystallographer by training, yet is becoming more and more interested in next-gen sequencing applications to decipher the structures and functions of non-coding RNAs.
