- Bioinformatics
Dr. Jakobi's lab is part of the Translational Cardiovascular Research Center in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix. Dr. Jakobi's lab focuses on the interplay of coding and non-coding RNAs, such as the novel class of circular RNAs in heart disease. Moreover, they develop new computational tools that can be used by other researchers in their field of interest.
