Biography: Ivana Bjedov earned a BSc degree in Molecular Biology from University of Zagreb. She did her PhD at the University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris, in the laboratory of Prof. Miroslav Radman, where she learned about DNA repair in E. coli. Her interest in ageing research started when she moved to University College London, where she was a postdoctoral EMBO fellow in the laboratory of Prof. Linda Partridge. Her postdoc was focused on understanding how manipulating the mTOR pathway using rapamycin improves health and extends lifespan in Drosophila. She joined UCL Cancer Institute upon obtaining ERC Starting Grant and her laboratory is interested in DNA repair and protein synthesis. Recently she became CRUK Senior Cancer Research Fellow and part of the CRUK RadNet City of London network.
