Biography

Llywelyn Griffith is a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London. 

He studies RNA-processing, with a particular focus on alternative polyadenylation. His work explores how arginine methylation influence global 3′ UTR dynamics and transcript diversity in various proliferating and disease states.

Using computational analysis of large-scale transcriptomic data, he identifies the sequence features and regulatory factors that drive these changes, aiming to uncover mechanistic principles of RNA regulation and their relevance to human disease.

Research interests

  • Alternative polyadenylation
  • Arginine methylation
  • Integrative transcriptomic analysis
  • Mechanistic regulation of alternative splicing

Research

Colorful brain mapping concept with dots, circles and lines
Context-dependent RNA regulation and its application in auto-gating therapeutics for brain disorders

We study context-dependent neuronal gene regulation, how it fails in disease, and how it can be used to build auto-gated gene therapies for brain disorders.

Project status: Ongoing
