Elena Andreyko, PhD​

Research Associate

 

About

 

I am originally from Kazan, Russia. After completing my PhD and working as a scientist at the Kazan Federal University, Russia I joined the Dr Sirianni Lab as a research associate in the autumn of 2022. An organic chemist by training my expertise is on supramolecular organic chemistry of thiacalix[4]arenes for synthetic receptors and nanoparticles application. I am working on a) formulation and labeling of drug loaded polymeric nanoparticles for treatment diseases of the central nerves system b) surface modification of fluospheres and gold nanoparticles to study particle distribution and interaction with brain tissues in vivo. In my free time I enjoy playing computer games and board games, reading books and hiking.
