Rate My Professor Anastasia Labudina

Currently, as a postdoctoral fellow in the Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, Labudina focuses on unraveling the genetic mechanisms of periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH), particularly the role of SON gene mutations in its pathogenesis. Her research advances understanding of developmental disorders and informs potential therapeutic strategies. Labudina has published key papers in prominent journals, including "Cohesin mutations are synthetic lethal with stimulation of WNT signaling" (eLife, 2020), "Cohesin components Stag1 and Stag2 differentially influence haematopoietic mesoderm development in zebrafish embryos" (Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020), "The three-dimensional genome in zebrafish development" (Briefings in Functional Genomics, 2021), and "Cohesin composition and dosage independently affect early development in zebrafish" (Development, 2024). Earlier works encompass studies on somatic stem cell proliferation in Drosophila testis niche (Development, 2018) and stochastic cell migration in vertebrate retina development (Development, 2019). With over 116 citations, her publications underscore her growing impact in molecular and developmental biology fields.
