Professor Dr. Alexandra Zidovska

Biography

Alexandra Zidovska is a researcher at the Center for Soft Matter Research within the Department of Physics at New York University. Her work primarily focuses on experimental biophysics, utilizing soft matter physics and polymer physics methodologies to investigate the chromatin and functional forms of DNA within cells. Zidovska's research aims to elucidate the organization and dynamics of eukaryotic cell nuclei, contributing to a deeper understanding of the mechanical principles governing genomic behavior and cellular organization. Through her laboratory, Zidovska explores how physical properties affect biological functions, particularly how the structure of the genomic material interacts with cellular environments and influences cellular processes.
