Brief Profile
Anička joined the Laboratory of Parasitic Therapy during the second year of her bachelor’s studies, where she began to specialize in the intestinal protist Blastocystis sp.

She successfully completed this topic during her follow-up master’s studies in Parasitology, defending her thesis and publishing a scientific article in a peer-reviewed journal. She currently works in the laboratory as a technician.
