Liana Lareau, affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley, focuses on alternative splicing and mRNA translation. Her research explores the transcriptional landscape of the mammalian genome and the dynamics of mammalian proteomes through ribosome profiling. She investigates the coupling of alternative splicing and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, as well as the regulation of splicing factors by alternative splicing and NMD. Her work also includes the identification of cell state–associated alternative splicing events and the development of methods for genome assembly and haplotype phasing. Lareau's studies highlight the role of alternative splicing in gene regulation and its implications for disease.
