tell me
After the undergraduate studies in molecular biology (University of Zagreb), I had decided to join one of MedILS research groups – Group
for Biophysics and Bioinformatics of Bacterial Cells. I had been very keen of working in a multicultural environment, learning methods in
computational biology, as well as being involved in interdisciplinary projects. I had a great time during those 1.5 years spent at MedILS -
learnt a lot under the supervision of Anita Krisko and Ivo Sbalzarini, and met many great scientists from various fields – Miro Radman,
Francois Taddei, Bojan Zagrovic, etc.
One of the greatest experiences at MedILS were Summer Schools held on different topics, when young students would really have a chance to
meet prominent scientists and discuss all together on diverse biological topics. While working at MedILS, I especially appreciated
the joint group meetings with the other groups: computational biophysicists, tumour biologists, neurobiologists,… This
definitively allowed all students to be familiar with current hot topics in biology in general, not only in a specific field. Also,
MedILS made it possible for me to go for 3-month internship at ETH Zurich, where I had an opportunity to improve my knowledge of certain
computational methods.
After leaving MedILS, I have continued the collaboration with my
supervisor at that time, Anita Krisko, and we still have some exciting
projects to finish.
Working at MedILS was a valuable and important part of my scientific
career, and I wish Miro Radman and all the MedILS scientists good luck
in their work!
