1. Non-protein-coding RNA : Transcription and regulation of ribosomal RNA
Abstract : Cell growth and proliferation are processes in the cell that must be tightly regulated. Transcription of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal biogenesis are directly linked to cell growth and proliferation, since the ribosomal RNA encodes for the majority of transcription in a cell and ribosomal biogenesis influences directly the number of proteins that are synthesized.

2. Versatile and Antique World of RNA : The Simplicity of RNA Mediated Catalysis
Abstract : RNA is the only biological molecule that can function both as a repository of information and as a catalyst. This, together with the ability to self-replicate, led to recognition of RNA as ‘prelude to life’.My work highlights some of the important features of RNA as a catalyst, exemplified by RNase P.

3. NMR studies of DNA/RNA-binding proteins
Abstract : This thesis concerns the structure and internal dynamics inDNA and RNA-binding proteins. While it has long been known thata proper three-dimensional structure is essential for aprotein's ability to interact with other biomolecules, theinfluence of the inherent protein dynamics is less wellunderstood.

4. Chromosome-specific adaptations of RNA stability and the roles of the roX RNAs in dosage compensation
Abstract : Sex chromosomes evolved from an ancient pair of autosomes and the Y chromosome lost most of its genetic information in the process. This created two kinds of genomic imbalances: the first one between males (XY) and females (XX) and the second one between the sex chromosomes and the autosomes (X:AA). READ MORE

5. RNA binding proteins and epigenetics in SCA7
Abstract : Polyglutamine diseases are a group of nine disorders that includes, among others SCA7. The common denominator is an expanded glutamine tract in the respective disease protein caused by unstable replication during meiosis. READ MORE
