Frontiers of Science
December 12th at 12:00
Onsite event
in Presidentti auditorium, BioCity
Prof. Torben Heick Jensen, Aarhus Universitet, Denmark
Nuclear sorting of RNA
Host: Matti Turtola (matti.turtola@utu.fi)
Coffee and sandwich at 11:45, first come first served!
Six PhD researchers and early-career postdocs are welcome to have a lunch and discuss with Prof. Jensen after the seminar. This is a great possibility to learn hosting skills in a friendly environment and create connections for future. Everyone is welcome to join, BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.

Jensen laboratory studies the regulation and fidelity of gene expression which is of paramount importance for the maintenance and differentiation of all living organisms. The revelation that most of the human genome is tranionally active raises a new question how cells deal with all these trans, and the Jensen lab research is directed for understanding the fundamental tranome control mechanisms. These studies touch many areas of RNA metabolism like RNA decay, long non-coding RNAs, snoRNAs, RNA modifications, transposable elements, molecular recognition and RNA-binding proteins. Jensen laboratory also employs and develops methodologies to capture the tranome dynamics that goes technically far beyond the standard RNA-Seq analyses.
