Olga Bednova

I am a dedicated and results-driven PhD candidate with a strong background in molecular and cellular biology,as well as experience in antibody engineering. My academic journey has provided me with in-depth knowledge ofmolecular biology techniques. I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Nuclear Medicine and Radiobiology at the Universityof Sherbrooke (anticipated defence: January 2024).

My profound experience with PCR-test systems and their development/optimization allowed me to participatein developing new more sensitive tests for ddPCR application. The skillset I acquired during my MSc and PhDjourney also allows me to design, express, purify and characterize engineered antibody fragments, antibody drugconjugates or tagged proteins and/or study and track them. I also was leading the project related to enhancednuclear localization of these proteins for more efficient therapy.

As a first author I have 1 published article and 1 in peer review.

As a co-author I've participated in 1 article, and 1 is under review.

I also reported my findings at 1 conference and presented posters at 6 conferences.

• Genetic engineering for biological therapeutic design
• Expression and purification of biological therapeutics
• Biochemical and functional characterization of targeted therapeutics

PhD in Nuclear Medicine and Radiobiology at the Universityof Sherbrooke (anticipated defence: January 2024).
