Rate My Professor Jackie Ludgate

Ludgate has made significant contributions to publications in epigenetics and haematology. Key works include her first-author paper, 'A streamlined method for analysing genome-wide DNA methylation patterns from low amounts of FFPE DNA' (Clinical Epigenetics, 2017); 'Aberrant immunoglobulin kappa locus rearrangement in a patient with CARD11-related B cell lymphocytosis' (Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2021), co-authored with Professor Ian Morison and Rob Weeks, which resolved a 58-year medical mystery involving a rare leukaemia-like blood disorder; 'Silencing of Testin expression is a frequent event in spontaneous lymphomas from Trp53-mutant mice' (Scientific Reports, 2020); and 'The transposable element-derived transcript of LIN28B has a placental origin and is not specific to tumours' (Molecular Genetics & Genomics, 2023). Additional contributions appear in conference proceedings on placental epigenetics and familial immune thrombocytopenia associated with a MYB variant (Genetics Otago Symposia, 2020). Her efforts advance understanding of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer and developmental biology.
