معرفی
Nils Neuenkirchen is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. He holds a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Würzburg, and conducts research focused on RNA biology, transcription regulation, and developmental genetics. His work spans molecular mechanisms of gene expression control, cancer-related mutations, and epigenetic regulation.
Key research areas include RNA processing pathways, Piwi protein functions in Drosophila, and oncogenic mutations in splicing factors like SF3B1 and U2AF1. He has pioneered methods like NaP-TRAP to study translation regulation in zebrafish development. His studies on stress granules in myeloid malignancies and non-canonical epigenetic complexes in stem cells have advanced understanding of cancer mechanisms and developmental biology.
Awarded multiple Yale School of Medicine presentation awards (2015-2018) and travel grants, Dr. Neuenkirchen collaborates with labs such as Haifan Lin’s group. His lab is part of the Yale Stem Cell Center, focusing on interdisciplinary research integrating genomics, epigenetics, and cell biology.
