معرفی
Stephanie Moon, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Michigan Medical School. Her primary research focuses on mRNA function, localization, and RNA-protein granules, particularly in the context of cellular stress responses and neurodegenerative diseases. Her lab investigates mechanisms of translation regulation under stress and the role of VCP mutations in diseases like ALS and frontotemporal dementia.
Education: Postdoctoral Fellow at Howard Hughes Medical Institute and University of Colorado-Boulder (2014-2019); Ph.D. in Pathology from Colorado State University (2009-2014); B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from Fort Lewis College (2003-2008).
Research interests include stress granule dynamics, integrated stress response signaling, and translational control in health and disease. Her work is supported by grants from NIGMS/NIH, the Paul F. Glenn Center, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Neurodegeneration Challenge Network.
Lab team includes postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers. Key collaborations involve the Neuroscience Graduate Program and the Michigan-Israel partnership. Current projects explore therapeutic strategies for VCP-related disorders and genetic diseases linked to stress response pathways.
Publications span 65 peer-reviewed articles, with recent focus on ribosome-mRNA interactions, stress granule assembly, and disease mechanisms. Awards and honors are pending explicit mentions in the provided texts.
