I’m a recent master’s graduate and early career, “founder-type” researcher trained in Prague, Cambridge, Stockholm and Copenhagen. Part-time, I am also a sports nutritionist and consultant on longevity medicine.
I strive to get ambitious results in the ageing, longevity and rejuvenation field, ultimately trying to catalyse a pivotal change in how we experience our journey on this flying grain of sand. Currently, I'm fostering my biomedical research skills in world-leading research groups while also learning about anything that could prevent diseases and optimize human health from the best sources there are.
My core values: ambition, curiosity, stoicism, morality, assertiveness, growth mindset, grit and antifragility.

For my master's thesis I lead the experiments on a project investigating the transcriptional regulation of two novel hormone-like hepatokines with a focus on the integrated stress response pathway. I was responsible of planning complex cell experiments and get qPCR data aimed at delineating the response of hepatocytes to several drugs and inhibitors acting on this pathway. (soon to be published)
The main skills learned during the period are:
HuH7, HepG2, iPSC cell lines culturing
qPCR
Basic R programming
RNA Extraction from cells
Data handling and analysis (Excel, Prism)
