Welcome Tijana!
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. 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.
