Andre Gerber PhD, RNA

André studied Biochemistry at the University of Zurich and obtained a PhD in Cell Biology from the University of Basel for his work on adenosine deaminases acting on RNA. He completed post-doctoral studies in the laboratories of Dan Herschlag and Pat Brown at Stanford University, where he started to explore RNA-protein interactions on a genome-wide scale. During 2004-2011, he was an independent research group leader at the ETH Zurich, studying RNA-protein interactions with genomics and proteomics means in different model organisms. Since 2012 he is Professor of RNA biology at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Surrey, UK.
