Senior🎓
Top SchoolSergey Prykhozhij is a research associate with over a decade of experience applying molecular, developmental and genetic approaches to translational biomedical problems using zebrafish disease models. His work spans precise CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, generation of point-mutation knock-ins, and drug-screening assays, with outputs including high-impact papers and computational tools for guide design. He combines wet-lab expertise—from yeast cell-cycle and mouse ES cell work to macrophage/microglia imaging—with growing data-science skills (MSc in Analytics) to bridge experimental and bioinformatic approaches. Notably, he has led collaborations with industry and multiple labs to create and characterize disease-relevant zebrafish lines and developed software and analytic methods that improved precision genome editing workflows.
