OLENA PYLYPENKO

Olena Pylypenko is a CNRS Research Fellow at the Curie Institute in Paris, France. Her research focuses on intracellular transport mechanisms, particularly in the context of actin nucleation and ciliogenesis.

• Team: Intracellular transport: engineering and mechanisms
• Unit: Cell Biology and Cancer (UMR144)

Her recent work explores evolutionary conservation of actin nucleators, genetic disease mechanisms, and molecular regulation of cellular structures:

• 2024: Actomyosin functions in pre-animal evolution
• 2023: Extraintestinal phenotypes in Microvillus Inclusion Disease
• 2023: Rac/Rab effector role in cilia formation

Publications appear in high-impact journals like Communications Biology and Developmental Cell.
