Martin Turner

Dr Martin Turner is a Researcher at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute affiliated with the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the role of RNA-processing mechanisms in lymphocyte development and activation, particularly through RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs within signal transduction networks.

• Education: PhD in cytokine gene regulation from University College London (UCL)
• Key Collaborators: Dan Hodson
• Affiliation: Babraham Institute, Cambridge Stem Cell Institute

Research Interests span immunology, molecular biology, and RNA processing, with emphasis on:

• RNA-binding protein function in immune cells
• MicroRNA regulation of lymphocyte development
• Signal transduction networks in immunity
• Post-transcriptional control of gene expression
• Translational regulation in autoimmune diseases

Publications highlight his work on RNA-binding proteins (ZFP36L2, MicroRNA-155) and their roles in stem cell quiescence, B cell development, and immune cell regulation. His group integrates RNA biology with signaling pathways to understand lymphocyte differentiation and disease mechanisms.

Labs & Teams: Based at the Babraham Institute, his research contributes to understanding RNA-mediated regulation in immune cells.
