Me and my work

I am from Ukraina. I started my PhD in 2019 in the Toth lab. I am interested in the molecular mechanisms that enable correct meiotic recombination. I have combined biochemistry, ectopic protein interaction studies and the phenotypic analysis of mice where key meiotic proteins are mutated. My projects include functional studies of the chromosome axis, testing the role of a novel meiotic recombination protein and uncovering the mechanism that commit a subset of recombination intermediates to crossover formation.
