Kateryna Solodka is now PhD student at UNIMORE, under the supervision of Prof. Marcello Pinti, in the BORGES project framework. Her research will be carried out also in LEO lab and it is focused on the investigation of biosensors based on electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistors (EGOFET) for the detection of multiple sclerosis biomarkers in plasma.

Kateryna Solodka, originally from Ukraine, graduated in 2018 in Pharmacy from the University of Valencia, where she continued her academic career by completing a Master’s Degree in Research and Rational Use of Medicines in 2019. During her Bachelor’s project, she worked at the Pharmacology Department of the University of Valencia studying the role of G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 and its implication in cardiometabolic disorders, obtaining a special distinction for this work. She completed her Master’s Thesis at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Valencia and the INCLIVA Biomedical Research Institute, studying the role of constitutive nuclear androstane receptors in endothelial dysfunction. In this way, she gained experience with basic techniques of immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, ELISA, western blot and leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions ex vivo assays.
