Svetlana Rogulina

Svetlana Rogulina is a Researcher in the Cellular & Molecular Physiology Department at the Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Rinehart Lab. Her work focuses on synthetic biology, genetic recoding, and protein engineering. She has contributed to groundbreaking studies on genomically recoded organisms and programmable protein phosphorylation systems.

Her research interests include molecular mechanisms of protein modification, bacterial synthetic biology applications, and proteome-wide analysis of phosphorylation-dependent interactions. Notably, she co-authored a 2025 Nature paper demonstrating the creation of a genomically recoded organism with a single stop codon.

Rogulina’s publications span over 15 years, with key contributions in Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications, and Cell Reports. Her work bridges fundamental biology with translational applications in bioengineering and molecular medicine.
