Biography
Jarrett received his Ph.D. from the Univ. North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1976. After postdoctoral fellowships at the Mayo Clinic, UCSD, and U.GA , he began an assistant professorship at IN U-Purdue U at Indianapolis. After promotion he joined the faculty at the U. TN Health Science Center where he was promoted to professor and remained for 18 years. In 2006, he joined the faculty at U. TX San Antonio as the Lutcher Brown Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry where he remains. His research has involved the purification of transcription factors and the RNA pol 2 transcription complex. His discoveries have included coupling methods which led to the first DNA-silica HPLC columns and developed both oligonucleotide trapping and promoter trapping to purify transcription proteins for mass spectrometry characterization. Most recently, this research has involved coating MALDI plates to direct proteomic discovery to DNA-binding proteins for a new method called T3.

Biography
Andrey S. Krasilnikov has received his PhD degree from the Institute of Chemical Physics (Moscow, Russia) in 1995. During his postdoctoral training at the UIC and Northwestern University (Chicago, USA) he became interested in enzymes that rely on their RNA moiety for catalysis. He is currently an Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Penn State University. The main focus of his research is the structure and function of the multicomponent eukaryotic catalytic ribonucleoproteins of the RNase P/MRP family. He has authored more than 30 publications in the fields of biochemistry, molecular and structural biology, and physics.

Biography
Alan J. Tackett has obtained his PhD from University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 2002. Currently, he is working as Associate Professor in University of Arkansas. He is serving as an editorial member of several reputed journals like Conference Papers in Biology. He has authored 41 research articles/books. In 2011 he received UAMS Founders Society Research Award.
Research Interest
His areas of expertise include proteomics, epigenetic technology development, and melanoma cancer biology. We currently pursue a series of proteomic studies including the most comprehensive to date proteomic analysis of FFPE patient melanoma. Additionally, he direct the UAMS Proteomics Facility and have extensive experience in collaborative research projects involving various areas of mass spectrometry. His group has expertise in using mass spectrometry to identify proteins in complex mixtures as well as quantifying protein abundance using various procedures (e.g., label-free, spectral counting, stable isotope tags & SILAC). They also perform various quantitative analyses of posttranslational modifications.
