sinha.biochem.utah.eduThe Sinha LabThe Sinha lab studies key aspects of protein synthesis and translational control in healthy and diseased states. We study the multifaceted roles of ribosomes as critical sensors of cellular stress.

I am delighted to share that I have started my lab in the Dept. of Biochemistry @uofubiochem.bsky.social at the University of Utah @utah.edu. My laboratory will study key aspects of protein synthesis and translational control in healthy and diseased states. #RNAsky sinha.biochem.utah.edu

Colliding ribosomes are potent signals of cellular stress. But do cells use ‘programmed’ ribosome collisions to regulate gene expression? I’m excited to present a new story from my lab led by Frederick Rehfeld(@fred-rehfeld.bsky.social) which revealed that the answer is YES! Read on to find out how👇

I take this opportunity to thank my postdoc and PhD advisors, Rachel Green and Brenda Bass @bbass.bsky.social who took great care to train me well, to my funding agencies NIGMS and @jcchildsfund.bsky.social for supporting my work, and to my family and close friends for their unconditional support.

It is an honor to return to the institution where I began my scientific journey. As I embark on establishing my lab, I approach this opportunity with excitement and humility. My goal is to train the next generation of scientists, paying forward the mentorship and support that shaped my career.
