About

I am a researcher in Plant Molecular Biology with expertise in molecular tools and techniques. I have received several fellowships supporting international collaborations, project implementation, and the presentation of research at global platforms. With experience in multicultural laboratory environments across multiple countries, I remain committed to advancing scientific knowledge and developing new skills. Currently, I work in the Cell Wall Biology group at IPGB-PSBC, Slovak Academy of Sciences, where I am developing genetically encoded peptide markers to monitor homogalacturonan dynamics in the plant cell wall.
