## Description

The Parua Lab is a leading research facility dedicated to advancing the understanding of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription in both fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) and human cells. Focusing on how kinases, phosphatases, and histone-modifying enzymes work in concert, the lab investigates their critical roles in regulating transcription and co-transcriptional processes, including splicing, alternative polyadenylation (APA), and antisense transcription.

Employing a comprehensive range of methodologies, the Parua Lab integrates biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, classical genetics, and innovative chemical genetics techniques. Their research emphasizes the significant influence of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) on the Pol II transcription cycle and explores the intricate antagonisms between kinases and phosphatases that dictate transcription regulation.

By synthesizing insights from genomics and proteomics, the Parua Lab not only contributes to fundamental biological knowledge but also paves the way for potential advancements in genetic and therapeutic applications.
