Bin Tian, Ph.D.

Wistar Institute Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics (Wistar)

Tian Laboratory

Tian is a molecular systems biologist whose research is focused on understanding how gene expression is regulated at the RNA level. His lab was among the first to discover the widespread nature of alternative polyadenylation (APA) using bioinformatic and genomic approaches. They have also revealed multiple molecular mechanisms that regulate APA and cellular functions of APA isoforms in a number of biological systems.
