معرفی
Mona Batish is an Associate Professor in the Medical & Molecular Sciences department at the University of Delaware's College of Health Sciences. Her research focuses on RNA biology, particularly exploring RNA processing, transport, and localization in health and disease. She investigates the role of coding and non-coding RNAs as diagnostic biomarkers, with a current emphasis on Ewing’s Sarcoma, a pediatric bone cancer. Her work integrates single-molecule imaging and molecular tools to study RNA dynamics.
Dr. Batish holds a BSc (Honors), MSc (Honors), and PhD from Panjab University and Rutgers University, respectively. She leads the Batish Lab, which collaborates widely to advance understanding of RNA regulation and EV-mediated communication. Notable achievements include the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (2012) and tenure (2022).
Her research spans RNA trafficking in extracellular vesicles, development of diagnostic assays, and molecular mechanisms of cancer progression. Recent projects include studies on circRNAs in cerebral palsy and HIV-associated RNA packaging. She actively mentors students and contributes to initiatives like the STAR Tower research hub.
