معرفی
Yasmin Dijkwel is a Research Fellow at the Genome Sciences and Cancer Division of The Australian National University. Her research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms, particularly the role of histone variants like H2A.Z in development, cancer progression, and chromatin regulation. She employs biochemical and genomic approaches to study protein stability, posttranslational modifications, and their impacts on cellular processes.
Her work bridges developmental biology and oncology, investigating how histone variants influence genome organization and cell cycle dynamics. Recent studies include exploring 3D genome architecture changes in breast cancer and mechanisms of histone chaperone interactions. She collaborates widely, as evidenced by her multidisciplinary publications spanning biochemistry, structural biology, and plant pathology.
Key areas of expertise include chromatin remodeling complexes, protein conformation analysis via isotope labeling, and the functional implications of histone variants in disease contexts. Though no formal awards are listed, her active research profile (h-index 45) reflects significant contributions to epigenetics and cancer biology.
