- Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior (Training Faculty)
- Columbia Stem Cell Initiative (Member)
Using Drosophila and mouse models, Dr. Kohwi investigates how developmentally-timed changes in nuclear architecture regulate neural progenitor competence. Her work has significant implications for understanding brain disorders and regenerative medicine applications.
2024 publications highlight condensate formation and gene relocation dynamics, while 2021-2012 studies cover temporal transcription factors, cis-regulatory modules, and microRNA neuronal regulation. Key interests include genome organization, developmental timing, and neurogenesis mechanisms.
- K99/R00 Pathways to Independence Award (NICHD)
- Rita Allen Foundation Scholar
- Whitehall Foundation Award
Her laboratory at Columbia University Medical Center explores neural diversity generation through nuclear dynamics research, with open positions for postdocs and students.
