Curriculum Vitae
Jasmina Gačanin studied Biochemistry at Ulm
University, Germany, where she received her Bachelor’s (2013) and Master’s
(2015) degrees as a scholarship holder of the “Studienstiftung des Deutschen
Volkes”. After completing her Master’s thesis “Supramolecular Protein/Peptide
Conjugates for Therapeutic Delivery”, she continued her work in the group of
Prof. Dr. Tanja Weil starting her PhD studies in October 2015. Her research
focuses on hydrogels for applications in medicine, including tissue engineering
and drug delivery employing various biomolecules such as DNA, peptides, and
proteins. Since April 2019 Jasmina Gačanin has been working as project responsible
at the MPI-P within the framework of an industrial cooperation on the BMBF
project "Next Generation Injectable, Adaptive Hydrogels" (InGel-NxG, https://promatleben.de/de/projekte/projekte-alphabetisch/ingel-nxg/).
