Overview

Peter T. Ohara is affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco in the United States. Their research contributions are situated primarily within the broad field of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with specific focus on Molecular Biology, Genetics, Physiology, and Cell Biology.

The scientist has published multiple papers addressing several topics including RNA Interference and Gene Delivery, RNA regulation and disease, Virus-based gene therapy research, Pain Mechanisms and Treatments, Biotin and Related Studies, and Ion channel regulation and function.

  • Cell-specific and targeted delivery of RNA moieties (2020, bioRxiv - Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • An Alternative Method of Expressing Appreciation to Families of Body Donors (2020, The FASEB Journal)
  • Isolectin B4 (IB4)-conjugated streptavidin for the selective knockdown of proteins in IB4-positive (+) nociceptors (2024, Molecular Pain)

Their frequent co-authors include Aditi Bhargava, Luc Jasmin, Andrew Corson, Oliver Bogen, and Dionéia Araldi. These collaborations reflect the interdisciplinary reach of their research across molecular biology and pain mechanisms.

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • The FASEB Journal
  • Molecular Pain

The research heavily emphasizes mechanisms of RNA interference and gene delivery technologies, with an interest in the role of RNA regulation in disease contexts. Contributions to virus-based gene therapy research demonstrate involvement in advancing therapeutic strategies at the molecular level.

In addition, the scientist's work explores biotin-related molecular studies and the regulation and function of ion channels, particularly as they relate to pain treatments and physiological regulation. The diverse subtopics align well with the interdisciplinary nature of modern molecular biology and genetics research.
