As part of Mendel Lectures, we are pleased to invite you to a lecture called: Controlling transcription of coding and non-coding RNAs
The prestigious Mendel Lectures with eminent guests from the field of medicine and natural sciences are regularly held on the premises of St. Thomas Abbey at Mendel Square from the year 2003. More than 200 foreign scientists have already visited Brno, including 15 Nobel prize laureates. The lectures are open to students and scientists, who gain a unique opportunity to meet and debate with the most important scientific personalities worldwide. Do not miss this opportunity and keep an eye on www.mendellectures.muni.cz.
Dr. Karen Adelman is the Edward S. Harkness Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. She is also a Member of the Gene Regulation Observatory at the Broad Institute, and the Ludwig Cancer Center at Harvard Medical School. The Adelman lab pioneered genomic studies of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription, revealing that pausing of RNAPII in early elongation is a central regulatory step in metazoan gene expression. Ongoing work probes the interplay between transcription, RNA processing and epigenetic machineries to elucidate the determinants of mature mRNA formation in health and disease.
