Dr. Ivana Ruseska is the University Assistant at the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy (Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences) at the University of Graz. She received her Master’s degree at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje and completed her PhD studies at the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz. Her research is focused on the cellular uptake and trafficking of peptide- and lipid-based nanostructured drug delivery systems for miRNA. Previously, she was a part of a research project focused on the development of polymeric nanocarriers as delivery systems for anticancer drugs. Her main goal was to study the uptake of the nanocarriers in a cancer cell line under varying conditions, as well as to achieve active targeting.
