Anastassia Voronova is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Alberta. Her research focuses on neural stem cells and their role in neurodevelopment, regeneration, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as KBG syndrome. Voronova's laboratory employs various techniques including animal models and primary cell cultures to investigate how neural stem cells generate myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in both developing and regenerating brains. Her work aims to understand the regulatory mechanisms of neural stem cells, particularly the epigenetic factors influencing neurodevelopmental disorders such as mutations in the Ankrd11 gene associated with KBG syndrome. Voronova is also exploring how cytokines secreted by interneurons affect neural precursor cells. The lab welcomes undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows who are interested in developing skills in neuroscience, developmental biology, and stem cell research. Voronova's contributions have been published in high-impact journals, and she is noted for her collaborative approach in tackling significant questions in neurobiology.
