Irina Voineagu is an Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales in the School of Biotech & Biomolecular Science. Her research focuses on the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying human brain disorders, with significant contributions to understanding unstable DNA repeats and their impact on chromosomal fragility. She completed her PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where her work revealed how unstable DNA repeats block replication fork progression, leading to the formation of DNA hairpins. Voineagu's postdoctoral research at the Neurogenetics Department of UCLA involved investigating the molecular mechanisms associated with autism and intellectual disabilities through transcriptome analysis. Her current research concentrates on the perturbation of normal brain function in neurodevelopmental disorders, leveraging functional genomic studies in human brain tissues and neuronal cell culture systems. Over the years, she has received multiple honors including the Gani Medal from the Australian Academy of Science and several research awards for her contributions to the field.
