Who are the big names in miRNA research? - (Oct/17/2009 )

Hello everyone

Bit of a strange request this one, my boss wants me to compose a list of the big names in miRNA research at the moment.
I'm writing a miRNA based grant and she would like me to find a big name collaborator to boost our chances of funding as we don't have experience with miRNAs in our lab.

Any suggestions very welcome.

Andrew Fire
Craig Mello
Thomas Tuschl
David Bartel
Philip Sharp
Narry V. Kim

Hello

Thank you very much for your suggestions, including 3 Nobel Prize winners, my boss will be impressed!
If we could get any one of these top scientists to collaborate with us the grant will definitely get funded.
Fingers crossed.

Thanks again
