Dr. Graber is an expert in cell regulatory mechanisms that determine when and where an RNA is translated into protein; processes that often break-down in the context of cancer or neurodevelopmental disorders. His pandemic pivot has led to an alternative path of discovery, developing new methods to track human pathogens and immune correlates through wastewater.
