From CEITEC Masaryk University to Yale
Dagmar Zigackova PhD, currently a postdoctoral associate at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven (USA), successfully completed her PhD studies at the Masaryk University at the end of 2019, right before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Dasha (as her Czech and American lab colleagues call her) studied under the supervision of Prof. Stepanka Vanacova, research group leader at CEITEC MU and a member of the prestigious European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO). During her PhD studies at CEITEC, Dasha investigated molecular mechanisms and the physiological role of RNA modifications in eukaryotic cells. Her PhD research focused on the processes of RNA degradation. Now at Yale, Dasha studies the mRNA processing in mammalian cells in the Karla Neugebauer lab.
