Congratulations to Alex, Isabella and Veronika for presenting their research work at The 15th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium FAU at, Jupiter and Boca Campus

Alex's work describes interaction of Rhes and Slc4a7, which transmits Huntington disease (HD) protein.

Isabella's work show a novel connection between Rhes and mitochondrial citrate transporter, with potential implication in brain's striatal function.

Veronika's work reveal ribosome stalling mechanism on mutant Huntingtin (mHTT) mRNA, particularly how penultimate CAA in mHTT can differentially control protein products, with potential implication in HD pathogenesis.
