Julia Jones, PhD
Doctoral Thesis: Evaluating the Stress Response and Metabolic Regulation of Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases
Research Focus: Jones' thesis work has centered around exploring the novel roles of nuclear tRNA synthetases to gain deeper insights into stress response mechanisms and metabolic processes.
Undergraduate Institution: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Noteworthy Publications: Nuclear Translocation of an Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase may Mediate a Chronic "Integrated Stress Response", Cell Reports (2023); Human Diseases Linked to Cytoplasmic Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases", The Enzymes (2020)
Honors and Awards: NIH Blueprint and BRAIN Initiative Diversity Specialized Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Advancement in Neuroscience Award (F99/K00), National Institutes of Health (2022-present)
Looking Back: "My graduate school success would not have been possible without my friends in the program who provided peer mentorship, scientific knowledge, and fun times!"
Next Steps: "I hope my next phase also involves innovative science."
Join us at 10 a.m. PDT on Friday, May 17, 2024 for our Commencement Ceremony Livestream! Jones wil be introduced by her advisor, Prof. Xiang-Lei Yang, who will deliver a few words about her graduate experience. Viewers will also learn about our many other 2024 graduates, who are now setting out to build careers that will profoundly impact the future of biomedical research.
