Nikita Konshin

Nikita Konshin

PhD student at TU/e
Nikita has gained his interest at the intersection of cellular biology and biomaterials shortly before defending the bachelor’s thesis in NUST “MISiS” as a nanotechnologist. The background was followed by a Nanobiophysics masters degree at TU Dresden. There he researched the temporal effect upon the earliest moments of C. elegans oocyte’s development. In the summer 2021, he has happily joined prof. de Boer’s BiS lab at the TU/e. With the goal to investigate the interaction between material induced mechanotransdu...

Streggi Vandersteene

Streggi Vandersteene

Streggi graduated from KU Leuven with a bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and master’s degree in Drug Development. The fascinating thing about research that intrigues her the most is deciphering complex molecular mechanisms and their biological functions. During an exchange with the Medical University of Vienna, she studied how the invasive potential of macrophages is affected by the neurometabolic disease X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of very long-chai...
