Anita K. Hopper studies how tRNA molecules, which help build proteins in cells, are processed, modified, and transported within yeast cells, particularly movement between the nucleus and cytoplasm and mitochondria. Her work uses yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a model organism to uncover fundamental mechanisms of RNA biology that are broadly conserved across eukaryotic organisms, including humans.
