Mariano Garcia-Blanco
Dr. Garcia-Blanco has dedicated his career to the study of posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Recently I have focused on two areas of high biomedical importance: (1) the regulation of alternative mRNA splicing of important immune modulators and (2) RNA–protein interactions that impact pathogenic RNA virus infections. He started his independent career at Duke University (1990-2014), went on to spend eight years at UTMB as Professor and Chair of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and since early 2023 is at the University of Virginia.
