23.10.18, New RNA Alumna: Madalena Reimao Pinto, PhD!

Congratulations to Madalena Reimao Pinto (Ameres Lab, IMBA) for successfully defending today her PhD thesis “Molecular basis and biological functions of RNA 3′ end uridylation in Drosophila melanogaster“!

Madalena shows an impressive publication record produced during her PhD studies; it would be a shame not to list it here on this occasion:

Reimão-Pinto MM, Rodrigues-Viana AM, Ameres SL.
Methods Mol Biol. 2018;1823:115-139.

Molecular basis for cytoplasmic RNA surveillance by uridylation-triggered decay in Drosophila.
Reimão-Pinto MM, Manzenreither RA, Burkard TR, Sledz P, Jinek M, Mechtler K, Ameres SL.
EMBO J. 2016 Nov 15;35(22):2417-2434.

Uridylation of RNA Hairpins by Tailor Confines the Emergence of MicroRNAs in Drosophila.
