Brian Truong, McNair Scholar Andy Berglund, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, received his Ph.D.
from Brandeis University in 1997 and joined the UO faculty in 2002.
With an active interest in biochemistry, molecular biology, and
biophysics, Berglund is also a member of the Institute of Molecular
Biology. Research in the Berglund lab has several goals: to "understand
how introns are recognized in the process of pre-mRNA splicing,"
to characterize RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions from multiple
organisms, and to explore the interplay of the factors that bind
enhancer/repressor elements and their interactions with general
splicing factors. Berglund's recent publications include “The Structural
Basis of Myotonic Dystrophy from the Crystal Structure of CUG Repeats,
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA (with
B.H. Mooers and J.S. Logue, Epub, 2005) and "The Splicing Factor
U2AF65 is Functionally Conserved in the Thermotolerant Deep-sea
Worm Alvinella pompejana," Biochim Biophys Acta (with K.L.
