معرفی
Grigory Genikhovich is a Lecturer in the Department of Neuroscience and Developmental Biology at the Faculty of Life Sciences. His research focuses on developmental and evolutionary biology of cnidarians, particularly the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, investigating processes like axial patterning, BMP signaling, and germ layer specification. He leads projects such as 'Extracellular regulation of Chordin in a cnidarian' and 'Maternal and zygotic β-catenin function in the sea anemone.'
Key contributions include uncovering BMP signaling mechanisms, ancestral Wnt-Brachyury interactions, and the evolution of pluripotency. Genikhovich has published widely on topics like Chordin-mediated axis formation and SMAD target gene analysis. His work bridges developmental genetics and evolutionary biology, often involving collaborative international studies.
- Projects: 7 active/funded research initiatives
- Publications: 40+ peer-reviewed articles since 2009
- Activities: 32+ presentations/posters (2009–2024)
Research interests emphasize evolutionary developmental biology, with a focus on gene regulatory networks and conserved signaling pathways in basal metazoans.
