RNA Society Mentoring Program |
|
Supporting younger scientists is one of the most valuable services that the RNA Society provides for the future of RNA research. To expand the opportunity for productive conversation, the RNA Society launched an individual mentoring program in 2017 – and are now inviting applications from junior scientists seeking mentoring in the fifth cycle of the RNA Society Mentoring Program (Jan. – Dec. 2022), as well as offers from senior members interested in serving as mentors.
Potential mentees (students, postdocs, junior faculty members) are instructed to complete this application by Jan 15, 2022. |

Postdoctoral position in the University of Michigan at the Todd Lab (posted 1/5/22)
|
The Peter Todd laboratory seeks to hire a post-doctoral research fellow to join a team of students, research assistants and postdoctoral fellows engaged in basic and translational studies of human neurodegenerative diseases. |
|
Research in the Todd lab is focused on nucleotide repeat expansions that cause brain diseases such has ALS, Parkinson’s Disease and Ataxias. We are interested in how repeat expansions trigger neurodegeneration and how we might develop novel therapeutics to mitigate these processes. To accomplish these goals, our group uses cellular and molecular laboratory methods coupled with multimodal disease models (including cell culture, Drosophila and mouse models as well as neurons derived from human patient stem cells).

Transcription factor network analysis based on single cell RNA-seq identifies that Trichostatin-a reverses docetaxel resistance in prostate Cancer
Patricia M. Schnepp, Aqila Ahmed, June Escara-Wilke, Jinlu Dai, Greg Shelley, Jill Keller, Atsushi Mizokami & Evan T. Keller, BMC Cancer, 21,1316 (2021), DOI 10.1186/s12885-021-09048-0
This study highlights the usage of novel application of single cell RNA-sequencing and subsequent network analyses that can reveal novel insights which have the potential to improve clinical outcomes.
