Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Nyberg is an Assistant Professor and molecular biologist with 11 years of research experience specializing in genomics analyses (particularly RNA-Seq) and genome editing with CRISPR/Cas9. He developed innovative RNA knockdown strategies using self-cleaving ribozymes in Drosophila and has combined single-molecule FISH with transcriptomics to dissect long noncoding RNA function and evolution. Kevin has a strong mentoring record across graduate, undergraduate, and technician trainees and has repeatedly translated computational RNA-Seq discovery into experimental validation. His work uncovered a recently evolved antimicrobial cryptic peptide in Drosophila, highlighting a knack for finding biologically surprising, functionally relevant sequences. Based in the United States, he bridges bioinformatics and hands-on molecular genetics to address regulatory and evolutionary questions in RNA biology.
