Biography

Stephanie S. Ceman is a Professor in the Department of Cell Developmental Biology at the University of Illinois. Her research focuses on the molecular basis of diseases related to neurobiology, particularly in understanding protein-nucleic acid interactions and regulation of gene expression in neurological behavioral disorders. Ceman's work highlights the role of RNA helicase MOV10 in early embryonic development and neuronal function, exploring how MOV10 interacts with mRNAs and regulates their translation during brain development. Her studies include the investigation of post-translational modifications and the critical functions of dendritic branching in neurons. Ceman has created engineered mouse lines to examine MOV10’s influence on brain behavior patterns and its role in modulating the interaction between microRNAs and their target mRNAs.
