Myriam Gorospe joined the National Institute on Aging (NIA) for post-doctoral training and has been a Principal Investigator and head of the RNA Regulation Section since 1998. Her group studies post-transcriptional gene regulation by RNA-binding proteins and noncoding RNAs in mammalian cell models of stress response, senescence, energy metabolism, and neurodegeneration. Her team’s long-term goal is to identify RNA-driven gene expression programs in aging physiology and disease.

Gorospe received her Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology from the State University of New York at Albany in 1993.
