Dr. Mark Behlke and 27mer DsiRNAs
I am pleased to be featuring Dr. Mark Behlke’s story as our first. This was an easy choice because our main characters, Mark and the 27mer DsiRNAs (Dicer Substrate Small Interfering RNAs), are rising stars in small interfering (siRNA) based research.
siRNAtechnology addresses the need for Biosciences Researchers and Clinicians [...]
