Originally from Slovakia, I completed my Ph.D. in the Laboratory of Cancer Cell Invasion at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, under the supervision of Prof. Jan Brábek and A/Prof. Daniel Rösel, where I studied the role of kinase signalling in regulation of small Rho GTPases and cancer progression. Currently, I am supported by an MSCA postdoctoral fellowship to study the mechanistic and functional aspects of the negative regulation of integrin activity. Outside the lab, I love black and white film photography and growing botanical orchid species.
