Ariana Pritha

Well-versed in circular RNA research, Ariana has extensive experience in research in ncRNA research in wet lab and bioinformatics settings. She has worked at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine Neuroscience Department on circular RNA projects in blood, brain, and saliva from the bench to the clinical trial phase. She received her MPhil at the University of Cambridge in Psychiatry through the Churchill Sc – assessing proteomics data and implementing combination approaches with transcriptomics. She is currently a MD-PhD student at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Andrea Pasmay

An expert in circular RNA design (from primers to siRNAs), Andrea switched from medicine to the field of Biomedical Science, focusing a core part of her PhD on developing circRNA pipelines for in-vivo and in-vitro studies. She is an expert on using machine learning platforms as well as conducting experiment-dependent analyses, which are most up-to-date with the field.
