From 1992-1997, I studied at the Ivan Franko State University of Lviv, Faculty of Biology, where I graduated with honors. I received a specialist's degree in biochemistry and qualified as a biochemist and teacher.
I have been working at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University since 2000, first as a senior laboratory assistant (2000-2007) at the Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics of the Faculty of Postgraduate Education. During her work as a senior laboratory assistant, I performed research work on immunodiagnostics of angina pectoris under conditions of dosed physical activity, which formed the basis of her PhD thesis, which she successfully defended in 2007. The topic of the PhD thesis was “Adaptive changes in blood leukocytes under the influence of dosed physical activity”, scientific specialty “Human and animal physiology”.
Since 2007, she has worked as an assistant. In 2012, I was promoted to Associate Professor of the Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics.
In 2019, I defended the dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Biological Sciences in the specialty “Pathological Physiology”. Thesis topic: “Immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of inflammation of the abdominal cavity”.
In 2022, I was awarded the academic title of Professor of the Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics. I work as a professor of the department until now.
I take part in the development of test tasks for the Krok-3 licensing exam in the specialty “Laboratory Diagnostics, Microbiology and Virology”.
