Біографія

Born in 1981, she graduated from the Precarpathian National University in 2003 with a degree in biology. From 2003 to 2006, she was a postgraduate student at the same university and, in 2007, defended her master’s thesis in biochemistry, followed by her doctoral dissertation in 2019. For 20 years, she has been studying the effects of stress and diet on aging, stress resistance,

and the development of metabolic disorders in model organisms, yeast, the fruit fly Drosophila, and laboratory mice. Her current research focuses on the mechanisms of PTSD development and the search for ways to treat it.
