Dr. David Bartel on "RNA: Beyond the Central Dogma"
Dr. David Bartel of the Whitehead Institute/MIT/HHMI is a GC grad who will be
receiving a Culture for Service award during our Alumni Weekend. His research
deals with small RNAs that silence genes. His lab uses a combination of
biochemical, molecular, genetic, and computational approaches to identify
additional genes, explore their roles in regulating eukaryotic gene expression,
and determine the molecular mechanisms of their action. His discoveries have
been cited in some of our biology texts and in many molecular biology research
articles. He has been the recipient of several major international awards
recognizing his work. This is a great opportunity to learn about cutting edge
research from one who is an international leader in genetics and molecular
biology.
