Attention RNA Students and Post-doctoral Fellows
The mission of the RNA Society Junior Scientists is to promote networking and career building among graduate students, post-docs, and early career scientists within the RNA Society (and beyond).
|
|
The group is responsible for organizing programing and events at the annual meeting (in-person and digital), web-based science and professional development programing, and general awareness of resources and opportunities within this network of scientists (through promoting research breakthroughs, workshops, awards, and funding opportunities, for example).
To apply for one of the two open positions, please send your CV and a short (1/2 page or less) statement describing your interests and ideas you might have on how to enhance junior RNA researchers through this group. Applications will be accepted until Sep 1, 2022.

Slusher, A. L., Kim, J. J., Ribick, M., Pollens-Voigt, J., Bankhead, A., Palmbos, P. L., & Ludlow, A. T. (2022). Intronic Cis-Element DR8 in hTERT Is Bound by Splicing Factor SF3B4 and Regulates hTERT Splicing in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Molecular cancer research : MCR, OF1–OF15. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-21-0058
These studies help define mechanisms of gene regulation important to the generation of telomerase activity during carcinogenesis.

Endurance exercise increased hTERT gene expression, and altered FL hTERT splicing in contractile tissues and may maintain telomere length necessary to improve the function and health of the organism.
