Tuyana is a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew West at Duke University. She earned her PhD at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where she focused on neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, including Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases. During her doctoral training, she developed expertise in iPSC-based disease modeling and genome editing approaches, which now underpin her current research on lysosomal signaling and neuroimmune pathways in Parkinson’s disease.
