Phillip Allen Sharp, an American geneticist and molecular biologist, is renowned for his co-discovery of RNA splicing, a groundbreaking achievement that led to his Nobel Prize win in 1993. Currently, his research primarily centers on small RNAs and non-coding RNAs, with a specific focus on microRNAs (miRNAs). Sharp’s laboratory is committed to uncovering the target mRNAs of miRNAs and investigating miRNA gene regulation in processes such as angiogenesis and cellular stress. His notable contributions have earned him prestigious accolades, including the Othmer Gold Medal in 2015.
