Scholar-generated biography
Eric Miska is a researcher at the University of Cambridge, focusing on RNA, epigenetics, genetics, genomics, and heritability. His work explores the role of microRNAs in cancer classification, immune function, and developmental processes. He investigates how RNA molecules regulate gene expression and contribute to disease mechanisms. Miska's research also examines the epigenetic inheritance of traits across generations, including the impact of early trauma on offspring. His studies span model organisms such as zebrafish, mice, and Caenorhabditis elegans, revealing the molecular basis of genetic and epigenetic regulation in health and disease.
