"Investigating TRAP-mediated attenuation of the trp operon with cotranscriptional SHAPE-Seq"
Authors: Kiel Kreuzer, Molly Evans, Julius Lucks, Paul Gollnick.

Dr. Keil Kreuzer has won "Most Outstanding Talk" at 2019 RustBelt RNA meeting, with an estimated 400 scientists in attendance. Kreuzer is a post-doctoral fellow in the Gollnick Lab. “This work is a collaboration between my lab at UB and that of Dr. Julius Lucks at Northwestern University to use a novel method to examine RNA structure during transcription,” states Dr. Gollnick, “Our work is changing the "textbook" view of how transcription is regulated in Bacillus subtilis.”

The mission of the RRM is to provide unique opportunities for junior scientists. The regional meeting encourages the sharing of ideas and the development of new collaborations. Support is provided by the National Science Foundation along with corporate and academic sponsors.
