Ana graduated molecular biology at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science in 2019 and joined Genos Ltd. as a researcher in the same year. During university, she was the main organizer of an international student symposium (SymBioSE 2018 Croatia), and also did a traineeship in the field of molecular evolution at the University of Zagreb and at Heinrich-Heine University in Düselldorf, Germany, which included working with RNA. She did her master’s thesis work at Genos Ltd., where she researched IgG glycosylation in Down syndrome. Her current work is focused on protein glycosylation analysis using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with a focus on IgG and plasma glycans.
IgG glycosylation is an important part of antibody-based drug production since it offers insights into the drug’s efficacy along with a more accurate prediction of the patient’s immune response to the drug.
How stress can affect your glycans and increase your biological age
