Henriette Stoy

Henriette Stoy is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. She is affiliated with the Transcription, RNA, and Gene Medicine Program and actively contributes to the Møllegaard Group, which investigates fundamental mechanisms of genome architecture and gene regulation.

Her research focuses on genome structural organization, DNA conformation dynamics, and transcriptional regulation. The Møllegaard Group employs molecular and cellular approaches to dissect how DNA physical properties influence gene expression, with specific emphasis on RNA-mediated processes and therapeutic applications in gene medicine. Current work integrates structural biology with functional genomics to address genome stability mechanisms.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in DNA replication stress response, particularly through the 2023 Nature Communications study on nuclear actin's role in replication fork remodeling. This work reveals how actin polymerization modulates PrimPol activity during cellular stress, contributing to understanding of replication fork protection mechanisms and genome integrity maintenance.

Dr. Stoy's research exhibits strong international collaboration patterns, as evidenced by the Møllegaard Group's global network. The 2023 publication has garnered significant attention with 18 Scopus citations and 59 Mendeley readers, reflecting its impact on DNA repair and replication stress fields. Current projects likely extend these findings to pathological contexts including cancer and genetic disorders.
