Olga Mykhailyk has a diverse and extensive work experience in the field of scientific research. Olga started their career as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Institute of Plant Physiology, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, where they focused on developing ESR resonance methods for studying superoxide production in chloroplasts.
Olga then worked as a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute of Surface Chemistry, Ukrainian Academy of Science, specializing in the synthesis and surface modification of iron-based magnetic nanomaterials for biomedical applications.
After that, Olga joined the SONAR research Centre for Biotechnical Systems, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, as the Chief of the Laboratory. Their research focused on the biodistribution and biodegradation of magnetic nanoparticles and their conjugates with biomolecules in pre-clinical animal models.
Olga later became a Leading Scientist at the Institute for Applied Problems in Physics and Biophysics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, where they established collaborations, developed innovative ideas for business development, and was responsible for drafting contracts and creating research reports.
Olga then worked as a Senior Scientist at Klinikum rechts der Isar, TU München, specializing in the development of magnetic nanoparticles and viral complexes for gene transfer, cell labeling, and contrast agents for MRI.
Currently, Olga is employed at ethris GmbH, where they started as a Senior Scientist and was later promoted to Principal Research Scientist. In their role, they have developed new methods for lentiviral transduction and the generation of functional ALI cultures. Olga has also conducted multiple studies on mRNA delivery systems and optimization.
Olga Mykhailyk has a diploma in Chemistry from Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU). Olga also holds a PhD in Chemical kinetics and catalysis, which they obtained from the same university. However, the specific start and end years for both degrees are not provided.
