Marina Krykbaeva
Postdoctoral Researcher, RTI, UMass Chan
Marina Krykbaeva earned her PhD at UMass Chan Medical School under the mentorship of Dr. Oliver Rando, where she explored mammalian intergenerational epigenetic inheritance. She is currently a postdoctoral associate in Dr. Athma Pai’s lab in the RNA Therapeutics Institute at UMass Chan. Today, she will discuss her current research investigating how cancer-associated mutations in splicing factors disrupt splicing kinetics.
