SpotlightsIn recognition of the outstanding lives and accomplishments of our members, each month we profile two RNA Society members—one Full member and one Student/Post-doctoral Fellow member—as part of our Member Spotlight Series. Read about your colleagues’ career paths, their advice for succeeding in science, and their favorite RNA! Featured SpotlightsLuiz Henrique Maniero is a recent Ph.D. graduate from the University of São Paulo and an incoming postdoctoral researcher at MBZUAI in the UAE. His work focuses on how the RNA exosome complex regulates gene expression during stem cell differentiation by integrating both single-cell and computational biology approaches. In this RNA Society Spotlight, written by Dawn Chen, Luiz shares how mentorship, global research experiences, and the importance of scientific community have shaped his path as a scientist. Dr. Francesca Aguilo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University, Sweden, where her group studies RNA modifications such as m6A. In this month’s piece, written by Maxime Wery and edited by Jennifer Porat, she shares her journey into the world of RNA modifications and insights into balancing one’s work and personal lives. |
