Marina received her B.Sc. in Physics (2018) and M.Sc. with honors in Physics (2020) from St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU). From 2018 to 2022, she worked as a Research Assistant in the Laboratory of Supramolecular Photonics (Biophotonics) within the Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Physics, SPbSU. Her research there focused on developing novel approaches for nucleic acid detection utilizing fluorescent metal nanoclusters and nanoparticles. Since 2022, she have been working as a Research Scientist at the Laboratory of Genetics of Pathogenic Microorganisms, Saint Petersburg Pasteur Institute. Her current research centers on the development and application of molecular diagnostic tools, with a particular emphasis on CRISPR-Cas systems and isothermal amplification techniques (including RPA, LAMP, and NASBA). Her work aims to advance rapid and sensitive diagnostic platforms for pathogen detection.
