Bubulya lab awarded grant renewal

Congratulations to Department of Biological Science Associate Chair and Associate Professor Paula Bubulya, Ph.D., for her renewed NIH R15 grant award.  It is a 3-year award, titled: "Pre-mRNA processing factors maintain normal mitosis".

The most common form of cell division is called mitosis. It is used for growth and repair. During mitosis, a cell makes an exact copy of itself and splits into two new cells. The Bubulya lab recently discovered that two related mRNA processing proteins, Btf and TRAP150, have critical roles in cell cycle regulation. Since pre-mRNA processing and mRNA trafficking
