Group Prof. Dr. Zoya Ignatova

Research

The Ignatova group conducts cutting-edge research at the intersection of molecular biology, biochemistry, and molecular medicine, with a particular focus on the role of translational control and protein biogenesis in human health and disease. The work addresses the fundamental biological processes underlying a range of severe, currently incurable conditions, ranging from monogenic disorders, to complex genetic and non-genetic conditions. Along with elucidating fundamental mechanisms of translational control, the group is deeply engaged in unraveling molecular processes challenging translation and driving pathological states. The research provides valuable insights into the molecular states of diseases, guiding the development of innovative gene therapies to combat these pathologies.
