Research areas

Welcome

The Mou Lab is dedicated to developing diverse chemical biology tools to explore RNA biology and enhance RNA-related technologies. We aim to create tools that elucidate the spatial information of biomacromolecules within various biological systems. Additionally, our lab is committed to advancing several areas, such as the development of chemical biology tools for mRNA-based therapies and the engineering of high-fidelity gene editing systems. Our goal is to integrate cutting-edge technologies with our tool development efforts to gain insights into complex biological processes and translate these technologies into applications for biosensing as well as disease detection and treatment.
