Professor Dr. Judith Kribelbauer

Biography

Judith Kribelbauer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. She completed her Ph.D. in Molecular & Computational Biology at Columbia University in October 2018 and held a postdoctoral fellowship at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) from October 2019 to October 2024. Her research focuses on the role of transcription factors in gene regulation and the molecular principles that govern binding specificity, which are vital for understanding gene expression changes in various biological contexts. Kribelbauer employs high-throughput genetic engineering techniques to explore how transcription factors influence gene expression, addressing gaps in current knowledge. She has been awarded several fellowships throughout her academic career, including the Marie-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship and the EMBO Long-Term Postdoctoral Fellowship. Fluently fluent in the complexities of genetic material and epigenetic landscapes, Kribelbauer seeks to elucidate these interactions in health and disease settings. Her laboratory aims to advance the field of synthetic genomics and computational biology, contributing to new insights in molecular biology.
