Yevheniia Kravenska obtained her PhD in Biology in 2011 at her home Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine). The thesis work was devoted to the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and its modification by metals cations. In the following years, she worked at the Bogomolets Institute of Physiology NASU (Kyiv) in the ion channels biophysics group. During that time, she continued to investigate ion fluxes across biological membranes associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease. Thanks to the following scholarship, Yevheniia got the opportunity to practice and later work at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Warsaw (Poland). There, under the guidance of Prof. Adam Szewczyk, she successfully mastered the most progressive electrophysiological method – patch clamp of the isolated mitochondria. Since 2020, she won a personal scholarship, and then the Seal of Excellence – MSCA-IF, due to which she started to work at the University of Padua, in the group of Prof. Ildiko Szabo as an electrophysiologist. Two years later, Yevheniia received a PNRR Young Researcher-SOE grant, which she is currently working on. She is studying the nature of the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel and its role in cardioprotection. She hopes that the obtained results will form the basis of a future therapeutic strategy.
