Anna is a multidisciplinary, clinically-oriented, scientist. Her research is on the border between experimental pathology and biomedical engineering.  Anna’s studies are focused at modelling of the diseases in vitro and in vivo, and morphological validation of new treatment and diagnostic approaches, with a special attention to clinically relevant biomedical engineering solutions. Anna has published more than 60 papers in peer-review journals, including top journals like Nature Communications, Nanoscale, Nanoresearch, ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, etc. Her research contributed to several new clinical applications (in thousands of patients in total), including laser treatment of chronic degenerative cartilage diseases, improved diagnostics of human post-burn skin scars and optimization of severe burns management, surgical correction of scarring alopecia, and a tissue engineering reconstruction of urethra in a patient. Anna’s current work is concentrated at experimental tissue engineering such as creation of 3D engineered organ-specific microenvironments and tumour models applicable both in vitro and in vivo – for basic cancer and cell biology research, testing of drugs, contrast agents,  nanoparticles, validation of new bioengineering technologies, and the development of new smart biomaterials for medicine. The most recent Anna's project is focused on the analysis of the biological effects and biomedical applications of magnetic fields.
