Biosketch:

Amy Buck earned her PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she studied RNA-protein dynamics in the RNase P ribozyme in the lab of Prof. Norman Pace. Wanting to apply her RNA background to the field of virology, she joined the Division of Pathway Medicine and the Centre for Infectious Diseases at the University of Edinburgh in 2005 and was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship to study microRNA function and biogenesis in murine cytomegalovirus.  In 2009, she was awarded a BBSRC New Investigator award and an Advanced Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh to build her research group within the Centre for Immunity, Infection and Evolution.
