7 Dr Sergej Đuranović Washington University in St. Louis, School of Medicine Saint Louis, Missouri, SAD Dr Siniša Đurović University of Manchester, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Velika Britanija Doc. dr Sergej Đuranović je diplomirao i magistrirao na Univerzitetu u Beogradu. Doktorirao je na Eberhard Karls Univerzitetu i Institutu za razvojnu biologiju Maks Plank u Tubingenu u Njemačkoj. Tamo je radio u grupi Dr Andreja Lupasa koji istražuje evoluciju strukture proteina i funkciju iz seta manjih peptida koji se pojavljuju kao RNK kofaktori u primordijalnom svetu RNK. Takođe je proučavao strukturu i mehanizam djelovanja AAA ATP-aza, fokusirajući se na regulaciju degradacije proteina proteozomom i pridruženim ATP-azama. Odredio je strukturu i organizaciju AAA-ATP-aza koji čine 19S podjedinicu u proteozomu. Godine 2007, nastavio je svoj istraživački put u laboratoriji Dr. Rachel Green na Johns Hopkins Univerzitetu i Howard Hughes Instititu u Baltimoru, SAD. Proučavao je mehanizama pomoću kojeg mikrornk molekuli kontrolišu ekspresiju gena na nivou sinteze proteina. On je prvi predložio, a zatim opisao novi kinetički model koji objašnjava sekvence događaja koji definišu mehanizam represije sinteze proteina sa mikrornk molekulima. Godine se pridružio Odsjeku za ćelijsku biologiju i fiziologiju na Medicinskom fakultetu, Vašington Univerzitetu u St. Louis-u. Njegova istraživačka grupa je zainteresovana za istraživanje molekularnih veza i mehanizma ciljane regulacije ekspresije gena i komponenti biohemijskog ciklusa oko mikrornk molekula. Bavi se takodje istraživanjem regulatornih mehanizama kontrole ekspresije gena koji zavise od karakteristika irnk sekvence i proteina vezanih za RNK molekule. Njegovi radovi su objavljivani u najprestižnijim naučnim časopisima i posjeduje dva patenta u polju regulacije gena. Prof. Sergej Djuranovic, PhD, got his B.Sc and M.Sc from University of Belgrade, Serbia. He got his PhD from Eberhard Karls University and Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology at Tübingen, Germany. There he worked under the supervision of Dr. Andrei Lupas investigating the evolution of protein structure and function from ancestral set of peptides which possibly emerged as RNA cofactors in the primordial RNA world. He also studied the structure and mechanism of action of AAA ATPases, focusing on the regulation of protein degradation by proteasomes and associated ATPases. He went to determine the structure and organization of AAA-ATPases that form the 19S subunit in proteasomes. In 2007, he moved to Rachel Green s laboratory for his postdoctoral studies to study the mechanisms by which micrornas control gene expression at the level of translation. He first proposed and then described a novel kinetic model that explains sequences of events that define the mechanism of mirna-mediated translational repression. In 2013 he joined faculty at Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at Washington University, School of Medicine in St. Louis. His research group is interested in understanding molecular connection and mechanics of targeted gene expression regulation both by microrna pathway components and other post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms dependent on mrna sequence features and RNA binding proteins. His work was published in most prestigious scientific journals and he holds two patents on gene regulation methodology.
