معرفی
Dr. Suzan Ruijtenberg is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science, Utrecht University, specializing in Developmental Biology. Her research explores the molecular mechanisms governing cell cycle regulation and differentiation, with a focus on Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism.
- Doctoral thesis: Coordination of cell proliferation and differentiation during C. elegans development (2015), Utrecht University.
Dr. Ruijtenberg's research integrates Developmental Biology, Cell Cycle Regulation, and Molecular Genetics to dissect antagonism between cell cycle regulators and gene expression during differentiation. Recent work includes localized translation studies of erm-1 in C. elegans and the development of auxin-mediated degradation systems for protein regulation.
Her publications (2010–2025) highlight advancements in C. elegans-based research, spanning DNA replication checkpoints, muscle differentiation, and genetic tools like the mIAA7 degron. These studies bridge developmental biology with cancer biology through insights into CDK4/6-cyclin D pathways.
