The lecture of Prof. Olke Uhlenbeck from Northwestern University and University of Colorado (USA)
Prof. Olke Uhlenbeck is an expert in the biochemistry of ribonucleic acids and RNA-protein interactions. During his visit he gave a talk on “MS2 Redux: The Interaction between MS2 Coat Protein and RNA”. The visit was organized by KNOW RNA Research Center in Poznań and by the RNA Salon Poznan of The RNA Society (link).
The lecture of Prof. Gisela Storz from National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, USA)
Prof. Gisela Storz’s research interests focus on biological functions of regulatory RNAs in bacteria. During her visit she gave a talk on "The genes that were missed: intricate regulation provided by small RNAs and small proteins". The visit was organized by KNOW RNA Research Center in Poznań.
The lecture of Prof. Rachel Green from Johns Hopkins University (USA)
Prof. Rachel Green is a leader in the studies of the ribosome and translation in bacteria and eukarya. During her visit she gave a talk on „mRNA surveillance starts on the ribosome: biochemical and ribosomal profiling approaches”. The visit was organized by KNOW RNA Research Center in Poznań and co-financed by the City of Poznań.
20th RNA Society Meeting in Madison (USA)
The RNA Society, which was established in 1996, is a community of scientists interested in all aspects of the properties and functions of RNA molecules. Annual meetings of the Society gather around 1000 researchers and are a great opportunity to discuss newest discoveries related to RNA. Webpage of RNA Society.
The lecture of Prof. Sarah Woodson from Johns Hopkins University (USA)
Prof. Sarah Woodson uses biochemical and biophysical approaches to study the RNA folding. Her research interests include the process of the maturation of the ribosome and the functions of the RNA chaperone proteins. During her visit she gave a talk on „Dynamic Hfq-RNA interactions during sRNA regulation”. The visit was organized by KNOW RNA Research Center in Poznań.
The lecture of the Nobel prize winner Prof. Thomas Cech from University of Colorado in Boulder (USA)
Prof. Thomas Cech received the Nobel prize for the discovery of catalytic RNA molecules. His research interests are focused on the structure and function of RNA molecules, including long noncoding RNAs. During his visit he gave a talk on “From the RNA World to the RNP World: Ribozymes, Telomerase, and lncRNAs”. The visit was co-financed by the City of Poznań.
