- Description: I performed my dissertation work in the lab of Dr. Hani Zaher. Broadly, I investigated the impact of mRNA structural alterations on translation. My primary project focused on elucidating the mechanism through which bacteria rescue ribosomes stalled on transcripts damaged via alkylation. Additionally, I worked to understand the structural preferences of the most common oxidative damage adduct, 8-oxoguanosine, in the context of the ribosome. My final project probed the role of the non-bridging oxygens of the mRNA phosphodiester backbone in tRNA selection.
