Yulia Yuzenkova

Dr. Yulia Yuzenkova is a researcher at Newcastle University, specializing in RNA polymerase mechanisms, transcription fidelity, and bacterial gene regulation. Her work spans molecular biology, biochemistry, and microbiology, with a focus on non-canonical RNA capping, antibiotic resistance, and transcription factor dynamics.

• Key research areas: RNA polymerase structure/function, transcriptional proofreading, and phage-host interactions
• Collaborates with experts in RNA biology and microbiology

Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding RNA capping diversity, cyanobacterial transcription systems, and antibiotic modes of action. She has mentored students including Amber Riaz-Bradley and Miron Leanca.
