Summary
Danny Incarnato is an associate professor and molecular biologist with 11 years of experience pioneering RNA structure and epigenetics research. He has developed multiple NGS-based methods for mapping nucleic acid modifications and RNA structure, including MAB-seq, 2Ome-seq, CIRS-seq, SPET-seq, RAPiD-MaPseq and multiplexed SHAPE-MaP. His lab at the University of Groningen was first to determine the in-cell structure of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome, uncovering conserved structural elements with druggable pockets. He continues to push method development with innovations like the SHAPE reagent 2A3 and DRACO, a computational tool that deconvolutes coexisting RNA conformations and their stoichiometries. In parallel he translates discovery into application through leadership roles at Serna Bio, bridging academic innovation and biotech development. Colleagues know him for combining hands-on experimental invention with computational rigor to tackle RNA dynamics in living cells.
