A lab BBQ to wish farewell to Carlo who is returning to his country in Belgium. It was a great pleasure to work with you Carlo and I am sure that we will continue to collaborate.
New work from the Bachand lab shows that the nuclear poly(A)-binding protein PABPN1 stimulates coupling between polyadenylation and terminal intron splicing. This work was accepted from publication in the RNA Journal. Congratulations to Lauren Kwiatek, Anne-Marie Landry-Voyer, Mélodie Latour, and Carlo Yague-Sanz (not on picture)!
Congratulations to Cédric and Zabih for winning graduate scholarships! Cédric received une “Bourse d’excellence pour des études en recherche” from the university and Zabih was awarded a Graduate scholarship from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Great news for both of you.
