One name that springs to mind for translational regulation is Dr. Nahum
Sonenberg at the University of McGill. He is also a chief editor at MCB.
Is web page is at: http://arlo.medcor.mcgill.ca/staff/sonenberg.htm
There are a number of references there and in addition here are some
recent
articles to get you going.
