Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Svitlana Kurinna. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Svitlana Kurinna is a lecturer in the Division of Cell Matrix Biology & Regenerative Medicine at the University of Manchester. Her research focuses on the mechanisms underlying wound healing and tissue regeneration. She investigates factors that interfere with the phases of cutaneous healing, particularly the role of microRNAs in this process. Her work highlights the potential of miR-29 as a therapeutic target in wound repair, especially concerning its regulatory role in collagen production and desmosome function within the epidermis. Through innovative techniques like miR crosslinking immunoprecipitation (miR-CLIP), Svitlana aims to identify new RNA targets related to miR-29 in human keratinocytes, and assess the impact of its inhibition on wound healing both in vivo and ex vivo. Her contributions align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, demonstrating a commitment to addressing critical health issues through her academic research.
Includes MSc in Advanced Electrical Power Systems and MSc in Communications and Signal Processing.
