PhD student of interdisciplinary studies part of the TriBioChem program. The aim of the project is to develop and test the microsystem for evaluation of insulin secretion from pancreatic islet cells. Studies are focused on the simulation of type 2 diabetes mellitus and investigate the influence of fatty acids on insulin secretion. For the research purposes the microchip for pancreatic islets cell culture and imaging of secreted products are developed. The research in the future will enable to develop effective prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
