Dr. Daniel Dominguez, Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology, UNC Chapel Hill Abstract: RNA binding proteins (RBPs) modulate all stages of an RNA’s life cycle, including transcription, splicing, localization, translation, and degradation. Accordingly, RBPs control important biological events (e.g. development), and altered RBP function is a prevalent cause of disease. Using large-scale biochemical assays, we explored […]

Dr. Lucy Colwell, Assistant Professor, University of Cambridge, Google Research Abstract: Prediction of protein functional properties from sequence is a central challenge that would allow us to discover new proteins with specific functionality. Experimental breakthroughs allow data on the relationship between sequence and function to be rapidly acquired that can be used to train and […]
