Alzbeta Hulikova

Dr. Alzbeta Hulikova is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of Oxford's Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics. She has been a key member of the Swietach Group since 2009, focusing on pH regulation in cancer biology and cardiovascular physiology. Her work spans interdisciplinary research at the intersection of cell biology, molecular oncology, and biophysics.

• PhD in Biomedical Physics, Comenius University (Bratislava, Slovakia)
• Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Swietach Group, University of Oxford (2009-present)
• College Lecturer, Corpus Christi College (Oxford, UK) (2012-present)

Her research explores: pH gradients in tumor microenvironments, cancer-stroma interactions, nuclear pH regulation in cardiac cells, and programmed necrosis in heart disease. Her work has implications for cancer therapy and cardiovascular diagnostics.

Recent publications highlight trends in acid-base dynamics in cancer, metabolic adaptations, and physiological pH sensing mechanisms. Key journals include Journal of Cell Biology and Trends in Pharmacological Sciences.

Scientific achievements include:

• College Lectureship in Biomedical Sciences (Corpus Christi College, 2012-present)
• Contributions to understanding tumor pH regulation and cardiac programmed necrosis

Her work involves collaboration with leading researchers like Professor Pawel Swietach and has been supported by multi-year projects examining cancer metabolism and cardiovascular physiology.
