Education:

A.B., Molecular Biology. Princeton University. Princeton, NJ.

Research Interests:

Anastasia joined our lab with an interest in the molecular mechanisms of development and how biophysical properties play into the function and regulation of molecules. During her doctoral work, she investigated the role of Oskar in determining the germ plasm in Drosophila melanogaster. Her work was supported by a PhD Fellowship from Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds. Anastasia successfully defended her PhD thesis in April 2025, and is now pursuing a postdoc at MIT in the field of molecular biophysics.
