Regulation of the Stability of the Cytoplasmic Heat Shock RNA hsrw3

这是一个职业发展奖来支持Petersen博士在休假期间访问麻省理工学院Mary Lou Pardue博士的实验室。Petersen博士将利用Pardue博士实验室现有的结构和技术，研究热休克RNA在调节热休克后蛋白质合成方面可能发挥的假定作用。这些实验将使彼得森博士有机会熟悉各种现代分子生物学技术，这些技术将直接应用于她自己的研究项目。鉴于彼得森博士在应激反应领域已经拥有丰富的经验，这些新技术和方法的获得预计将大大提高她的职业生涯。

This is a Career Advancement Award to support Dr. Petersen's sabbatical visit to the laboratory of Dr. Mary Lou Pardue at MIT. Dr. Petersen will take advantage of constructs and techniques currently available in Dr. Pardue's laboratory to study the putative role that heat shock RNA may play in regulating protein synthesis following heat shock. These experiments will provide Dr. Petersen the opportunity to acquire familiarity with a variety of modern molecular biology techniques which will be applied directly to her own research program. Given the depth of experience Dr. Petersen already has in the stress response field, the acquisition of these new techniques and approaches are anticipated to significantly enhance her career.
