Biography

Dorota Raj is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg, focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance in cancer therapy using the model organism C. elegans. She defended her doctoral thesis on December 3, 2021, where she investigated the signaling pathways and genetic factors involved in modulating the response to cisplatin, a common chemotherapeutic agent. Her research has contributed to the identification of specific lung cancer signatures and genetic interactions that can influence cancer treatment outcomes. Dorota has co-authored several publications in well-regarded journals, exploring various aspects of insulin signaling and its interactions with cellular pathways necessary for maintaining insulin secretion. Her work aims to enhance the efficacy of cisplatin in cancer therapies by elucidating the biological basis of drug resistance and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
