Description

My journey in Laboratory of Arbovirology started in 2019, as a master's degree student I studied orthohantaviruses in rodents. Since 2021 I have been working as a professional staff member. I specialise in the detection of viruses in ticks, rodents, insectivores and birds using the screening methods of molecular biology. I also work in a BSL3 laboratory with viruses and mouse experimental models. Additionally, I provide OSH, and BSL2/3 biohazard training for our employees.
