Katalin Fejes Tóth is an Associate Professor in the field of Molecular Biology and Genetics. She started her independent lab at Caltech in 2010, focusing her research on the intersection of chromatin and RNA biology. Her interdisciplinary approach combines biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and computational biology to understand how chromatin influences gene expression and the role of ribonucleoprotein complexes in regulating transcription and chromatin structure. Katalin obtained her medical degree from Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, in 2001, and later earned her PhD in Biochemistry and Biophysics from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in 2004, working in the lab of Karsten Rippe. Her postdoctoral training with Gregory Hannon at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory concentrated on the role of small non-coding RNAs in gene expression regulation. Katalin's discoveries have led to the identification of a new class of small non-coding RNAs in mammals involved in regulating gene expression, including insights into alternative RNA capping processes that occur independently of transcription. Furthermore, she developed a variety of RNA cloning strategies that facilitate the biochemical analysis of short cellular transcripts, providing her with exceptional training in RNA biology and genomics.
