Biography

Krassimir Joseph Yankulov is a Professor in the College of Biological Science at the University of Guelph. His research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms and the regulation of gene expression by chromatin during DNA replication. His work aims to link the types of regulation involved in chromatin reassembly as it passes through DNA replication forks. Yankulov's research has implications for understanding genetic diseases and cancer, as well as how organisms adapt to their environments. He also conducts research on educational practices, particularly student performance in higher-level university courses. Yankulov's studies on telomeres utilize the yeast model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae to analyze gene repression and epigenetic inheritance, examining the effects of telomeres on genome stability and gene activation. Throughout his career, he has published extensively on topics related to gene repression, chromatin structure, and educational methodologies, contributing valuable insights to both biology and pedagogy.
