Biography

Monika Gjorgjieva is an SNSF Ambizione fellow at the University of Geneva, working in the Department of Cell Physiology and Metabolism. Her research focuses on renal physiology and the pathophysiology of renal cancer. Gjorgjieva aims to decipher the molecular mechanisms involved in the incidence and progression of renal cancer. This includes the development of in vivo models that mimic the pathology observed in humans and exploring new therapeutic avenues. Global statistics indicate approximately 403,000 patients are diagnosed with renal carcinomas each year, influenced by factors such as obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, smoking, toxin exposure, genetic predispositions, and high blood pressure. Her publications cover topics such as glycogen storage diseases and their relation to renal pathology, underscoring the significance of metabolic stress in accelerating hepatic carcinogenesis. Gjorgjieva's work contributes essential insights to the understanding and treatment of renal and metabolic diseases.
