Julia Kornienko
Julia Kornienko (MSc in biophysics) is currently a PhD student in the lab of Prof Dr Lars Steinmetz at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), finishing her thesis this year. In her PhD project, she focused on addressing the mechanism of dilated cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in the alternative splicing regulator RBM20. She applied a combination of high-throughput image-enabled cell sorting technology with functional genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic studies to unravel the mechanism of aberrant RBM20 localization. Her findings have potential implications for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting mislocalized RBM20.
