SpotlightsIn recognition of the outstanding lives and accomplishments of our members, each month we profile two RNA Society members—one Full member and one Student/Post-doctoral Fellow member—as part of our Member Spotlight Series. Read about your colleagues’ career paths, their advice for succeeding in science, and their favorite RNA! Featured SpotlightsDr. Su is currently an Assistant Professor of Genetics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her lab, which opened its doors in July of 2023, focuses on the fascinating world of RNA modifications and is particularly on RNA modifications placed on tRNAs and tRNA fragments. In this RNA spotlight, written by Dawn Chen and edited by Dr. Anna Sherwood, Dr. Su shares her fascination with tRNAs and recounts her path to opening her own lab by diving into captivating family history. Meet Solène Zuttion, a Ph.D. student at the Integrative Molecular and Cellular Biology (IMCBio) Graduate School of Research, whose groundbreaking work focuses on the non-canonical functions of multi-localized aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS), exploring her diverse roles beyond cytosolic translation. In this Spotlight, she discusses what drew her to her PhD research project and her passion for science education.
