Nov 6 - BMG Departmental Seminar

Presenter: Yueqin Zhou, PhD student with Dr. Geoff Hicks
Title: ALS-Associated FUS Mutations Result in Compromised FUS Alternative Splicing and Autoregulation
Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Location: Room 626 BMSB
Time: 12:15 – 1:15 pm
Learning objectives:
1. Understand the importance of studying FUS regulated RNA processing and its association with ALS.
2. Describe the autoregulation of FUS by alternative splicing.
3. Discuss the potential association between the compromise of FUS autoregulation and the pathogenesis of ALS with FUS mutation, and its therapeutic implication.
