Webinar The SARS-CoV-2 RNA-protein interactome at subgenome resolution
Technological advances in the field of RNA and RNA-binding protein (RBP) biology are revealing not only the vast number of RBPs, but also the diverse functions of RNA and RBPs in normal physiology and disease.

Technological advances in the field of RNA and RNA-binding protein (RBP) biology are revealing not only the vast number of RBPs, but also the diverse functions of RNA and RBPs in normal physiology and disease. Dr. Mathias Munschauer began studying RNA and RNA-binding proteins while an undergraduate student and over the course of his subsequent training he helped to develop crucial techniques that have facilitated interrogation of the mRNA-bound proteome. Now in an independent position at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Germany, he investigates RNA-protein at the host-pathogen interface with the goal of mechanistically defining RNA function during infection. In 2020, his group published a landmark paper detailing the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-protein interactome in Nature Microbiology, and that work will be the framework for his webinar.
Speaker: Dr. Mathais Munschauer, Assistant Professor at the University of Würzburg, HIRI, and HZI
