Prof. Rachel Green Johns Hopkins University, USA

Rachel Green uses biochemical and genetic approaches to study the mechanism of translation by the ribosome in bacterial and eukaryotic systems. She received her BS degree in chemistry from the University of Michigan and her PhD in biochemistry with Jack Szostak at Harvard Medical School. She conducted her postdoctoral work... read morein Harry Noller's laboratory at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Current interests in the lab focus on understanding how external factors communicate with basal ribosome functions to regulate translation activity.
