Prof. Irina Voineagu is an NHMRC Investigator at UNSW. Prof. Voineagu obtained her Ph.D in Molecular Genetics from Univ. of Illinois at Chicago in 2008. Her postdoctoral research at University of California, Los Angeles included large-scale transcriptome analysis of autism brain tissue and research on the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders. The ongoing work in her lab investigates the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying normal brain function with a focus on gene expression regulation, and their perturbation in neurodevelopmental disorders.
