Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristyna Kupkova is a computational biologist and postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience combining epigenomics, transcriptomics, and tool development to study early childhood undernutrition. Trained at University of Virginia (PhD) and with roots in bioengineering and bioinformatics from Brno, she integratively analyzes ChIP-seq and RNA-seq to uncover functional molecular changes and potential therapeutic targets in undernourished children. She has also interrogated genome-wide transcription factor dynamics in yeast and authored the GenomicDistributions R/Bioconductor package, reflecting a strong commitment to reproducible computational tools. Based in Charlottesville, VA, Kristyna blends rigorous experimental data analysis with software development, making her work both mechanistically insightful and broadly reusable.
