Dr. Tasak received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from University of Rochester. Monika’s thesis was focused on tRNA decay caused by lack of tRNA post-transcriptional modifications in evolutionarily distant yeast species and on the role of tRNA modifications in human disease. She has extensive experience investigating tRNA molecular biology in yeast and in humans using both genetic and biochemical approaches.
