معرفی
Magda Bienko is an Associate Professor at the Karolinska Institute and a Fellow of the Science for Life Laboratory in Stockholm, Sweden. She leads the Bienko Group, dedicated to the Quantitative Biology of the Nucleus. Her research focuses on understanding the spatial organization of the genome and its role in fundamental biological processes like DNA replication, transcription, and repair. She has pioneered methods such as BLISS, GPSeq, and iFISH to study genome architecture at single-cell resolution.
Education:
- Bachelor's in Biotechnology, Jagiellonian University (2005)
- PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Goethe University (2011)
Research Interests: Chromatin structure, 3D genome architecture, DNA repair mechanisms, and their implications in cancer. Her interdisciplinary approach combines novel sequencing technologies, microscopy methods, and mathematical modeling to explore genome organization.
Awards:
- ERC Starting Grant
Advising and Grants: Supervises PhD student Mohit Virdi and has developed cutting-edge methodologies through her ERC-funded research. Her lab collaborates on open-access resources for genomic analysis.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Bienko Group at HT (Human Technopole?), focusing on interdisciplinary research integrating quantitative and experimental biology.
