|
A world authority in RNA folding, structure and modeling, Prof. Westhof has played a major role in shaping our understanding of RNA function and RNA-mediated catalysis.
|
|
|
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK
|
|
|
Dr. Ule has pioneered methods for in vivo detection of RNA-protein interactions (including CLIP) and high-throughput methods for the analysis of alternative splicing.
|
|
| CGM-CNRS, Gif-sur-Yvette, France | |
|
Prof. Séraphin has made major contributions to our understanding of the mechanisms of pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA decay and has pioneered methods to study protein-protein and RNA-protein complexes, including the TAP-tag technology.
|
|
| Michael Sattler | TU München and Helmholtz Zentrum, München, Germany |
| Prof. Sattler has made major contributions to solving the structure of RNA-protein complexes involved in pre-mRNA splicing and miRNA-mediated regulation. |
|
| Karla Neugebauer | MPI of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany |
| Dr. Neuebauer has made fundamental discoveries on the intracellular dynamics of splicing factors and complexes and on the coupling between transcription and RNA processing. |
|
| Reinhard Lührmann | Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany |
| Prof. Lührmann has pioneered the analysis of the composition, assembly and function of snRNPs and spliceosomal complexes, among other complexes involved in RNA metabolism. | |
