Associate Research Scientist in Genetics

Biography

Michelle Kudron attended Smith College and received her AB degree in Biology in 2002. In 2001, she completed a Smith summer internship in the laboratory of Celia Schiffer in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at UMASS Medical School studying Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Following graduation, she returned to the Schiffer lab and Knight Lab to work as a Research Laboratory Associate uncovering a novel role for dimeric RecA in the assembly of nucleoprotein filaments and homologous recombination (Kudron et al., 2006). In 2003, she attended Yale University and earned her Ph.D. in Genetics in the laboratory of Valerie Reinke in 2009 studying the role for C. elegans nucleostemin in regulating cell growth and proliferation by modulating ribosome biogenesis (Kudron MM and Reinke V, 2008).

Since obtaining her doctorate, Michelle has been interested in the role that transcription factors play at both the tissue-specific level as well as more globally in C. elegans.

Research

Overview

I am interested in the role that transcription factors (TFs) play at both the tissue-specific level as well as more globally in C. elegans. I pioneered the first in depth examination of tissue-specific binding of the Rb/E2F pathway in vivo. More recently, I have been a lead member of modERN (Model Organism Encyclopendia of Regulatory Networks) which is a multi-lab effort to capture the genome-wide binding sites of all the TFs in both worm and fly.
