When cell biologist Jimena Giudice was an undergraduate studying chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, one of the few biology-related classes she took was on alternative splicing, a process by which different proteins can be produced from the same gene. While she continued to study chemistry, she remained fascinated by the topic, and when she became a visiting fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany, during her doctoral work at the University of Buenos Aires, she got the chance to take a week-long course on splicing. “Instead of taking vacation days, I took those days to do that course,” she says. After receiving her PhD in 2011, Giudice did a postdoc at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, until 2016, when she started her own lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine.
