Joana Silva

Postdoctoral fellow

During my PhD I characterized the functions of a novel exonuclease that we found to be important for governing germ stem cells and lifespan by promoting mitoribosome integrity and translation. As a postdoc at the Faller lab, I am interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying translation regulation in intestinal stem cells and colon cancer.
