Research Bio

Elçin Ünal is a molecular geneticist whose research investigates cellular rejuvenation, organelle quality control, and gene regulation during gametogenesis. Her laboratory integrates genetics, genomics, and cell biology to uncover how reproductive cells preserve nuclear and cytoplasmic integrity through the meiotic gene expression program. These studies reveal how gametogenesis orchestrates a comprehensive cellular reset, offering fundamental insights into the molecular links between reproduction, aging, and gene regulation.
