Interview with Naina

Naina Verma, a Ph.D. student on Lenka Hernychova’s team, focuses on the research and development of proteins for the treatment of blood clots, specifically staphylokinase. She specializes in structural biology and protein engineering, as well as in analyzing how changes in a protein affect its function. She therefore contributes to the design of safer and more effective therapeutic variants capable of targeted clot dissolution. In March, Naina Verma received the Best Flash Presentation Award at the 5th International Conference on Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry in Strasbourg, France.
