As a highly motivated scientist I aim to resume my professional career after parental leave and a long-term stay abroad (2018-2021). I recently (09/2021) joined the team of M.Sc. Dasa Bohaciakova, Ph.D., as I wanted to extend my knowledge in applied research and to contribute to the team with my previous expertise in the field of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and microRNA (miRNA) research. The current “Career Restart grant” would allow me to engage in the research fully as well as to establish nowadays much needed high throughput methods in her laboratory. The following paragraphs summarize my research background as well as my current research interests.
