2025 Human Genomics Focus Group Pilot Award

Congratulations to Gabriana La and Tanner Smith from the Baldrich Lab on receiving the 2025 Human Genomics Focus Group pilot grant! The award encourages creative interdisciplinary and cross-lab collaborations supporting findings that may translate into preliminary data for future grants and papers. Their proposed work for these funds aims to characterize how loss of m6A RNA readers impacts small RNA profiles and RNA modifications in zebrafish autism models. They will present updates on their findings to the Human Genomics Focus Group in Fall 2026.
