Interesting research visit in Zagreb!

This fall, a PhD student from our team, Joanna Macur, had the unique opportunity to undertake a research visit at the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health (IMI) in Zagreb. Thanks to Dr. Maja Lazarus from the Division of Occupational and Environmental Health (IMI), she had the chance to gain insights into the work of a laboratory focused on ecotoxicology research, including biomonitoring of exposure and effects of heavy metals in terrestrial wildlife. During her visit, she was actively involved in preparing samples, such as bones and liver tissues, for heavy metal content analysis. She also received invaluable guidance, which she plans to utilize in her upcoming publications. Additionally, she had an inspiring discussion with Dr Suzana Žunec regarding biomarkers of oxidative stress in studies on the effects of heavy metals on animal tissues, and she also participated in an institute seminar. The whole experience, along with the discussions and insights shared by the Institute’s staff, will significantly enhance her research skills, which she plans to apply to her PhD project.

 

“Thank you to the entire team for your warm hospitality, interesting conversations, and the opportunity to learn—especially to Dr. Maja Lazarus!”
The visit was funded by a Grant for young scientists under the Institute of Nature Conservation Internal Research Fund (IOP PAN).
