Kannanganattu Prasanth

Kannanganattu Prasanth has made key contributions to understanding MALAT1, one of the most abundantly expressed and cancer-relevant long non-coding RNAs, demonstrating its localization to nuclear speckles where it regulates alternative splicing and gene expression. His work revealed that MALAT1 overexpression promotes cancer metastasis through transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of metastasis-associated genes. He has contributed to understanding how MALAT1 serves as a prognostic biomarker across multiple cancer types. His research connects lncRNA nuclear biology with cancer progression mechanisms.
