Dagmar Zigackova

Dagmar Zigackova is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in RNA biology and molecular mechanisms of gene regulation.

Her research expertise encompasses:

• RNA metabolism and post-transcriptional regulation
• RNA-protein interactions and target recognition mechanisms
• RNA surveillance pathways and quality control systems
• 3' end modifications including uridylation and polyadenylation

Dr. Zigackova's publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to understanding fundamental RNA processes across diverse biological systems, from eukaryotic and prokaryotic gene regulation to specialized mechanisms in non-coding RNA surveillance. Her work bridges molecular biology, biochemistry, and cellular physiology with implications for understanding disease mechanisms.

She maintains a productive collaboration with Karla M. Neugebauer's laboratory and contributes to Yale's prominent presence in RNA research, as evidenced by her participation in the upcoming May 2025 Microsymposium on RNA Biology.
