معرفی
Stefan Ameres is a full Professor at the Max Perutz Labs, affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. His research focuses on RNA biology, particularly microRNA biogenesis, RNA silencing mechanisms, and transcriptome dynamics. He holds significant roles including Vice Dean at Max Perutz Labs since 2024.
Key research interests include RNA processing pathways, epitranscriptomics, and the role of non-coding RNAs in cellular regulation. He has pioneered methods like SLAMseq and Rnalib for transcriptomics analysis, and contributed to understanding RNA exosome function and post-transcriptional regulation.
