Amanda Whipple

Amanda Whipple is a Lecturer in the Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology at Harvard University. Her research focuses on gene regulation in the brain, particularly the role of imprinted non-coding RNAs. She investigates cis- and trans-acting mechanisms of these RNAs, including their targets, neuronal networks, and repression mechanisms. Her work includes developing in vitro systems to study allele-specific expression in neurons and exploring therapeutic strategies for imprinted disorders. Whipple's research has contributed to understanding the physiological functions of imprinted transcripts during neurodevelopment.

Amanda J. Whipple is an Assistant Professor at Harvard University, specializing in RNA biology, non-coding RNA, and neurobiology. Her research explores the role of RNA in disease mechanisms, particularly focusing on alternative splicing, long non-coding RNAs, and their impact on neurological and cardiac conditions. She investigates how RNA-binding proteins and antisense transcripts regulate gene expression and contribute to disorders such as Angelman syndrome and myotonic dystrophy. Her work also examines the interplay between chromatin structure and imprinted gene regulation in neurodevelopment. Through these studies, she aims to identify therapeutic targets for RNA-related diseases.
