Plant Virologist/Associate Prof@ Univ. Florida. Graduated from Wuhan Univ (BS) and Ohio State (PhD). Working on viroids and plant RNA biology. Views are my own.
A postdoctoral position is available in the Folimonova Lab at the Univ. of Florida, Department of Plant Pathology, Gainesville, FL to conduct research in the area of molecular biology and molecular genetics of RNA viruses. If interested, please contact me at svetlana@ufl.edu.
Much of the success of breakthroughs, such as AlphaFold, is thanks to a database of protein structures dreamed up in the 1960s by Helen Berman go.nature.com/4hp4UCP
Why we do basic research. In my lab, grad student Liz Carino @LzzyCarino showed that MCMV RNA binds eIF4E for cap-independent translation. Who cares? Here's what followed: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
