NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Zamore is professor and chair of the RNA Therapeutics Institute at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He specializes in the study of argonautes, the only known family of proteins that can be programmed with any RNA or DNA sequence to make sequence-specific regulators of transcription, mRNA stability, or translation.
Animals, plants, and other eukaryotes use Argonaute proteins, guided by short RNA sequences, to defend cells against transposons and viruses. Many bacterial genomes also encode Ar...
