Job Titles:
- Professor, School of Life Sciences / Associate Professor, Biodesign Center for Personalized Diagnostics
Marco Mangone joined the faculty of ASU in August 2011 after completing his postdoctoral fellowship in the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology at New York University. He is an assistant professor in the Biodesign Virginia G. Piper Center for Personalized Diagnotics and the School of Life Sciences at ASU.
He is interested in study how eukaryotic RNA transcription is terminated and how the messenger RNA is regulated on its way to the expression into proteins, using the wound worm C. elegans as model system. C. elegans is a transparent, free-living soil nematode that shares many biological similarities with humans, and has been used to model many aspects of human biology, such as development, learning and memory, mechanisms of aging and cell death.
His research focuses to the analysis of 3'Untranslated Regions (3'UTRs); sequences located between the STOP codon and the polyA tail of mature messenger RNAs. 3'UTRs contain elements targeted by many non-coding RNAs and proteins that bind and repress the translation of the mRNA into protein. The majority of these elements are unknown, but they have been found to play key roles in diverse developmental and metabolic processes, and are implicated in disease, including diabetes, Alzheimer's and cancer.
Recent analysis of genome-wide data in human, mouse, worms, plants and yeast showed that alternative polyadenylation (APA), a mechanism in which the same gene has multiple 3'UTR isoforms, is pervasive in eukaryotes. It is not known why eukaryotic mRNAs require so many 3'UTR isoforms. Professor Mangone suspects that APA provides a powerful regulatory mechanism, perhaps to regulate gene expression in a tissue-specific manner or in different developmental contests.
Professor Mangone's approach combines high-throughput genomics, bioinformatics, genetics, biochemistry and systems biology to answer the following fundamental question: How does the termination of transcription work in eukaryotes? What are the mechanisms behind alternative polyadenylation? Why is it so widespread in metazoan transcriptomes? How does it impact gene regulation at a post-transcriptional level? What are the mechanisms of 3'end formation that ultimately determine how a gene is regulated?

Pamela A. Marshall was born and raised in Denton, TX. Her father is a chemistry professor, and in her youth, she and her brother participated in many types of exothermic reactions. She remembers distinctly learning about the process of DNA replication, transcription and translation in 10th-grade biology. This was a transformative moment in her life as as she decided that genetics and cell biology were extremely elegant and that was what she wanted to study when she grew up. Subsequently, she attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, majoring in biological sciences, and minoring in chemistry and women's studies. She was very interested in cellular processes and attended the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX, studying the yeast peroxisome in the lab of Joel M. Goodman, earning her doctorate in cell regulation. At UT Southwestern, she won the Ida M. Green Award for outstanding service to the graduate school community. She performed postdoctoral research in the Biochemistry Department at UT Southwestern, as well, in the lab of Bruce Horazdovsky researching the yeast vacuole.
Her first faculty appointment was at SUNY College at Fredonia in Fredonia, NY, in 2000. She was drawn to the West campus of ASU in 2003 because of its commitment to the students. She engages undergraduate students in her laboratory research and won the 2008 ASU Faculty Achievement Award for Excellence in Student Mentoring. Since coming to ASU's West Valley campus, she has mentored more than 100 undergraduate students, many of whom have gone on to medical school.
She currently serves the interim Director of the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences, where she teaches courses in Genetics and Pharmacology.
