Marija received her MSci in Molecular Genetics from King’s College London. With a strong research background in gene editing and the investigation of cancer mutational signatures, she is now pursuing her PhD. She works on developing a novel approach for molecular characterisation of chronic wounds in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, utilising nanoneedles to create a non-invasive biomolecular replica that is subsequently analysed through Raman spectroscopy and DESI-Mass Spectrometry. Passionate about translational research, her interests lie in understanding diseases on a deeper level and contributing to the development of novel therapies.
