Dmitry Pervushin

Dmitry Pervushin is an Associate Professor at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, leading the Computational Structural Transcriptomics Group at the Center for Molecular and Cellular Biology. His research spans biogenesis, structure, and function of eukaryotic RNA, with a focus on gene regulation in disease using bioinformatics, computational genomics, and statistical learning.

• Prediction of RNA secondary structures
• Long-range RNA interactions in splicing/polyadenylation
• Unproductive splicing and disease deregulation
• RNA-binding protein specificity
• Long non-coding RNA splicing

His 2020 work on urinary biomarkers for vesicoureteral reflux in children exemplifies his translational approach combining RNA biology and clinical research.

The group leverages high-throughput RNA in situ conformation sequencing and computational modeling to study RNA structural impacts on gene expression regulation.
