  Investigation of protein interactions at near-atomic resolution during herpesvirus infection in human host. With particular interest in flexible, intrinsically disordered and post-translationally modified systems. Elucidation of viral protein functions with (phospho)proteomic screenings and studying their role in host lipid homeostasis using small-molecule labeling and HPTLC. My two first-authored manuscripts provide mechanistic and biochemical insights into the novel viral phosphatase adaptor HSV-1 pUL21. The studies explain its role in viral replication and dissemination, and highlights its strong potential for a new druggable target. Show less

• Laboratory Researcher

  • Jan 2015 - Dec 2017

  In my work, I was focused on genetics of different virulence factors of Yersinia entercolitica. I investigated the interplay between metabolic states of Y. enterocolitica and the organisation of its outer membrane structures, based of the RNAseq data and using publicly available bioinformatic tools.

• Researcher at Translational Cancer Research Program - Viral Tumorigenesis

  • Jan 2017 - Sep 2017

  My goal was to understand the role of certain human proteins in viral defence and to explore how the virus hijacks their primary functions. Another area of my research included generating new in vitro platforms to improve and facilitate the control over KSHV genes expression system.

  Title of the project: "Tracking of the Heligmosomoides polygyrus excretory-secretory products using biologically and functionally inert labelling of enodgenous biomolecules." The ultimate goal of my work was to optimize the methods of tracking the content, RNA and protein in particular, of EVs using a technique of biological molecules labelling called ‘Click Chemistry’.
