Dr. Pedro Batista earned his undergraduate degree in Microbiology and Genetics from the University of Lisbon and completed his Ph.D. thesis research in the laboratory of Professor Craig C. Mello at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he studied the regulatory functions of endogenous RNA interference pathways in C. elegans. He then pursued postdoctoral training with Dr. Howard Chang at Stanford University, focusing on the role of the RNA modification m6A in stem cell differentiation. In November 2016, Dr. Batista joined the Laboratory of Cell Biology at the NCI Center for Cancer Research as a Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator. His current research investigates how RNA processing and post-transcriptional regulation interface with metabolic rewiring to support immune evasion, and therapeutic resistance in cancer.
