Title: Incongruent Evolution of Sequence and Structure in RNA and Proteins
<\/strong>September 21 \/ 16:00 – 17:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolutionary pressures may lead to discrepancies between the conservation of sequence and structure. In both proteins and
RNA this may lead to an apparent shi between sequence and structural features. Conventional alignment-based methods fail to identify consensus structure in this case. Bi-alignments represent sequence alignment, structure alignments, and their relationship explicitly and serve as suitable formal framework to describe incongruent evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Structural snapshots of the cytosolic and mitochondrial mRNA translation machineries in kinetoplastids
<\/strong>September 22 \/ 14:30 \u2013 15:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography: Dr. Hashem is a Research Director and Group Leader at the Inserm (National Institute of Health and Medical Research of France), he is based at the IECB (European Institute of Chemistry and Biology) in Bordeaux (France). He obtained a PhD in Molecular and Structural Biology from the University of Strasbourg (France), after which he worked as a Research Associate at Columbia University in the city of New York (NY, USA) for nearly five years, in the group of Prof. Joachim Frank (Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2017) in the field of structural biology and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). In 2015, Dr. Hashem accepted a position as a Group Leader in Strasbourg (CNRS, ARN) before joining the Inserm in the city of Bordeaux. His work combines a set of molecular and structural biology techniques aimed at investigating mRNA translation regulation in pathogenic protozoa and their eukaryotic hosts. Among the studied topics, the group of Dr. Hashem is interested in the mRNA translation initiation process and its existing structural and functional differences between kinetoplastids and mammals, form-dependent mitochondrial mRNA translation regulation in kinetoplastids and mitochondrial mRNA translation in photosynthetic organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
