PROVIDES Seminar Series Lecture title: Quantitative Dissection of RNA 3D Structural Ensembles that Regulate Viral Replication Steve L. Bonilla, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Head of Lab, HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar Steve L. Bonilla is an Assistant Professor at The Rockefeller University, where he leads the Laboratory of RNA Structural Biology and Biophysics. He is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Freeman Hrabowski Scholar and Hanna H. Gray Fellow, and a faculty member of the Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology. The Bonilla lab investigates the fundamental principles that dictate RNA structural dynamics, and how RNA viruses exploit those dynamics to regulate their life cycles. The lab combines cryo-EM and single-molecule biophysics with high-throughput methods, computational simulations, and functional assays., powered by Localist, the Community Event Platform

Sands Distinguished Chair in Neuroscience and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He joined UT Southwestern in 2009. His research interests are the molecular mechanism of circadian clocks, neuroscience, and the genetic basis of behavior. Dr. Takahashi pioneered the use of genetics in the mouse as a tool for discovery of genes underlying neurobiology and behavior, and his discovery of the mouse and human Clock genes led to a description of a conserved circadian clock mechanism in animals. His lab has highlighted the role of circad…
