Janine Flores received her B.Sc. in biochemistry and psychology from the University of Sydney in 2012. She completed her B.Sc. (Honours) in biochemistry in 2013 in the Ataide laboratory, where her research focused on determining the crystal structure of the protein and RNA components of the eukaryotic signal recognition particle (SRP). Currently, Janine is a Ph.D. candidate at the Ataide laboratory focusing on the structural characterisation of ribonucleoprotein complexes.

James Walshe received his B.Sc. degree from the University of Western Australia (UWA) in 2010. He completed his B.Sc. (Honours) in biochemistry in 2011, working in Alice Vrielink's laboratory (UWA) on metal binding sites found in the crystal structure of N. meningitidis Lipopolysaccharide transferase A. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Ataide laboratory (University of Sydney) investigating the structural interactions of ribonucleoproteins that associate with non-coding RNAs.

Dr Sandro Ataide received his B.Sc. in chemistry in 1999 from UNICAMP (Brazil) and obtained his M.Sc. in biochemistry from the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil) in 2001. He was awarded his Ph.D. by The Ohio State University (USA) in 2006. Aiming to gain better experience in the RNA and crystallography field, he conducted research on the complex signal recognition particle (SRP) and ribosome while working as a post-doctorate researcher at Jennifer Doudna's laboratory at UC Berkeley (USA) and Dr Nenad Ban's laboratory at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). He joined the University of Sydney as a lecturer in 2012 to continue his work on structural and molecular characterisation of RNA and RNA-protein complexes.
