Please join us for a seminar from
Dr. Ambro van Hoof, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
“RNase functions in eukaryotic gene expression”
Dr. van Hoof’s research has focused on RNA turnover in budding yeast, plants, and mammalian cells/diseases. His most recent studies have focused on mRNA turnover in yeast by the exosome and, surprisingly, also by the mitochondrial-localized tRNA splicing endonuclease. His scholarship has been recognized by his election for PEW Scholars membership, his publication record in high impact journals (PNAS, Science, Nature Structural Biology, RNA, PLOS Genetics, GENETICS, etc), and his continuous NIH funding. He has served on many NIH study sections and as a reviewer of scores of manuscripts. Finally, Dr. von Hoof is dedicated to didactic education and mentoring as evidenced by his directorships of graduate programs, his successful PhD students, and his multiple awards from UT Houston for teaching excellence and exceptional mentoring.
