Tijana Nikic
PhD Student
Tijana Nikic received her MSc in Human Biology from LMU Munich, completing her thesis in 2022 with Prof. Dr. Stefan Stricker on understanding astrocyte cell identity and optimizing their reprogramming to neurons. She then joined Roche pRED for a 10-month internship focused on novel cancer immunotherapies, followed by a year in the Rogulja Lab at Harvard Medical School, where she studied sleep regulation. In November 2024, Tijana joined the Corn Lab as a PhD student to investigate the mechanisms of organelle clearance during reticulocyte maturation. Her research interests include functional genomics, unraveling molecular mechanisms driving cellular processes, and advancing genome editing technologies for therapeutic applications.
