Pittsburgh RNA Community<\/span><\/h2>\n

There is a diverse and interactive community of scientists in Pittsburgh studying RNA structure, processing and function. These nine lab groups, listed below, meet together once each month. Students and postdoctoral fellows present recent research results or solicit feedback about ideas for new experiments. Each year the Pittsburgh RNA community hosts a series of outside speakers. Recent visitors have been Jennifer Doudna from Berkeley, Phil Sharp from M.I.T., Alan Hennebusch from the NIH, Thom Dever from the NIH, Rob Britton from Baylor College of Medicine, Eckhard Jankowsky from Case Western, Matt Sachs from Texas A&M, Kristian Baker from Case Western, and Kevin Weeks from University of North Carolina.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. At the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine,<\/span> Chris Milcarek is studying 3′ end processing of immunoglobulin mRNAs during B cell development.<\/li>\n
  2. At the University of Pittsburgh Department of Biological Sciences,<\/span> Paula Grabowski’s lab<\/a>studies regulation of alternative splicing in the brain, Craig Peebles’ lab<\/a> investigates the mechanism of group II intron splicing, Andrea Berman<\/a> studies the structure and function of noncoding RNAs, and Andrew VanDemark<\/a> uses x-ray crystallography to study structure of proteins mediates transcription and recombination.<\/li>\n
  3. At Carnegie Mellon University<\/span>, Bruce Armitage<\/a> develops peptide nucleic acids as tools for study of RNA, Gordon Rule<\/a> studies the structure of RNA binding proteins, including E. Coli rho factor, and Joel McManus<\/a> studies regulation of alternative splicing and MRNA translation in fruit flies and yeast, Huaiying Zhang<\/a> studies protein RNA phase transition, and Anna Kietrys studies chemical biology, small RNAs and circular RNAs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/a>Pittsburgh Yeast Community<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The community of scientists in Pittsburgh who study the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has diverse but complementary interests including transcription, RNA processing, and membrane trafficking. The group interacts with each other in many productive collaborations, meets together once a month where students and postdocs discuss recent research progress, and frequently share reagents and ideas.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. At the University of Pittsburgh<\/span>, Karen Arndt<\/a> studies initiation transcription focusing on the TATA binding factor TBP and interacting proteins. Jeff Brodsky<\/a> studies molecular chaperones necessary for translocation of proteins into the ER. William Saunders’ lab<\/a> is interested in motor proteins in the spindle necessary for mitosis or meiosis. Craig Peebles<\/a> studies the mechanism of group II intron splicing in yeast. Andy VanDemark\u2019s lab<\/a> uses X-ray crystallography and other biophysical techniques to study chromatin biology-how it is packaged, remodeled, and expressed. Anthony Schwacha\u2019s<\/a> research focuses on regulation of DNA replication. Yu Jiang\u2019s lab<\/a> investigates control of yeast cell growth and proliferation in response to changing environmental conditions such as nutrient availability or stress. Allyson O’Donnell<\/a> studies \u03b1-arrestins that regulate GPCR signaling. Craig Kaplan<\/a> studies mechanisms of transcription. Kara Bernstein<\/a> studies repair of DNA damage. Anne-Ruxandra Carvunis<\/a> studies molecular mechanisms of change and innovation in biological systems.<\/li>\n
    2. At the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine<\/span>, Martin Schmidt’s group<\/a> investigates regulation of transcription via the glucose signaling pathway.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
