Anthony Leung's Biography



Anthony Leung, Assistant Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Anthony Leung received his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry in the University of Oxford and his PhD in the University of Dundee, United Kingdom. He started his work on microRNA as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Phillip Sharp at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he investigated where microRNA function and localization during stress. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and affiliate faculty in the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine in the Johns Hopkins University.

Poly(ADP-ribose) is a polynucleotide of 2-200 ADP-ribose subunits covalently attached to a target protein. Since discovery in 1963, our understanding of this polynucleotide has been focussed on its roles in the nucleus, including DNA repair, transcription and chromatin structure maintenance. Recently, we discovered two novel roles of poly(ADP-ribose) in the cytoplasm – regulating microRNA activity and stress responses.
