Osama Youssef, Ph.D.!
July 2008 |
We celebrated Osama's success with a traditional Terns Lab croquet party! xAs usual, the match got competitive, and in fact this one was never completed due to a shift in the game's focus - from passing through wickets to sending the opponent's ball into the woods. xNote both Lindsay and Micah sending the Terns' yellow ball below... |

Check out the article describing Eladio's path to a career
in biomedical research in the current issue of the
University of Georgia's Graduate School Magazine.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
 |
- Spinal muscular atrophy is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases of humans.
- The connection between the spinal muscular atrophy disease protein SMN and the snoRNP protein fibrillarin was initially made by 2 undergraduate researchers in our laboratory, Karen (Harisiades) Gorzynski and Chad Hales.
- Their work (and subsequent studies) led to the hypothesis that SMN mediates the assembly of snoRNPs and revealed a potential link between snoRNP biogenesis and spinal muscular atrophy.
- Karen and Chad are authors on the article describing this work:
Jones, K.W., Gorzynski, K., Hales, C.M., Fischer, U., Badbanchi, F., Terns, R. M., and Terns, M. P. (2001) Direct interaction of the spinal muscular atrophy disease protein SMN with the small nucleolar RNA-associated protein fibrillarin. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 276:38645-38651.
