Andrew Hudson

Andrew Hudson is a Senior Research Scientist in the Genetics Department at Yale School of Medicine. He holds a PhD from Yale University (2002) and specializes in molecular and developmental biology, focusing on Drosophila oogenesis and cytoskeletal dynamics. His work explores actin cytoskeleton regulation via Kelch proteins and Cullin-RING E3 ligases, as well as mechanisms underlying ring canal formation and tissue-specific codon redefinition.

• Education: PhD in Genetics, Yale University, 2002.
• Key Collaborations: Lynn Cooley, Erol Fikrig, Ronit Kaufman.
• Labs: Cooley Lab (Yale).

Research Interests:

• Actin cytoskeleton dynamics in Drosophila germline ring canals.
• Role of Kelch proteins and ubiquitin ligases in cellular morphogenesis.
• Molecular mechanisms of tissue-specific gene regulation and protein interactions.

Publications Highlight: Over 15 peer-reviewed articles since 1997, including landmark studies on Arp2/3 complex function, Kelch-Cullin interactions, and Drosophila developmental genetics.
