Research on developmental timing, cell fates and RNA
Smita obtained her Master’s degree in Biochemistry at the University of Delhi. During her PhD, she focused on screening, identifying and validating small molecules and chemically modified oligonucleotides that could restore cellular functions upon targeting deregulated oncogenic microRNAs. In the Grosshans lab she aims to decipher microRNA dynamics during C. elegans development
We wish you a smooth start in your new position as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry Polish Academy of Science, Posnan!
Giovanna discussed the mRNA silencing dual activity of the RNA-binding protein LIN41
Jana earned her Master’s degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics of Eukaryotes at Charles University in Prague. For her diploma project, she studied cytoplasmic polyadenylation mechanisms in mammalian oocytes. She also gained RNA biology knowledge during an internship at the School of Biosciences, Cardiff, UK.
