Post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Don W. Cleveland. Let’s accomplish great things together.
I don’t tread here anymore - you probably shouldn’t either.

Huge thanks to Marcin @skimomiks and Stanley Clarke for the wonderful Perspective in @ScienceMagazine! Grateful for the thoughtful framing of our work on chromothripsis mechanisms.

@krupina_lab @ScienceMagazine @uiowa Fantastic work, Ksenia!
I can't wait to see the continuation of this work at your new University of Iowa laboratory. Congratulations!

[Ksenia Krupina @krupina_lab]

Honored to share that I’m joining the University of Iowa as an Assistant Professor! Starting end of January 2026, my lab will explore how the nuclease N4BP2 drives chromothripsis and extrachromosomal DNA formation- key processes shaping genome instability in cancer.

chromo-🤯 --> our perspective on 🧠-shattering new data on chromothripsis mechanisms from @krupina_lab , Don Cleveland, and team published today in @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/fLgNR9TbdO

[Ksenia Krupina @krupina_lab]

Thrilled to share that my paper is out today in Science @ScienceMagazine !

So grateful to everyone involved, and excited to continue this work in my own lab at the University of Iowa @uiowa.

A refreshingly fast and courteous response by authors after image problems were found in their @NatureCellBio paper. Thank you, Dr. Cleveland & Fachinetti, for quickly addressing the issues.
That is how it is done!

@pdhsu Reading the literature also helps identify which steps are really dropping lifts.

🤝 The joint efforts of Drs. Clotilde Lagier-Tourenne, Don Cleveland & Cathleen Lutz report that stathmin-2 loss leads to neurofilament-dependent axonal collapse driving motor and sensory denervation. @harvardmed @LudwigCancer @NatureNeuro

It is my sincere hope that this work can further our understanding of this condition and provide a rational basis for on-target clinical trials in patients living with ALS and other TDP-43 proteinopathies.

[Michael W. Baughn @5ATG3]

I am very happy to share our latest work, detailing the effects of stathmin-2 loss within the adult central nervous system, was published in the journal Nature Neuroscience on Thanksgiving Day! (link: https://t.co/nO7WXzbT38 - PMID: 37996528)

[Michael W. Baughn @5ATG3]

The herculean effort was led by Jone Lopez-Erauskin, and the incredible teams of Don Cleveland, Clotilde Lagier-Tourenne, Cat Lutz, Martin Marsala, and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
