Biography

Anelia Kostadinova currently holds the position of Associate Professor in the "Lipid-Protein Interactions" Section at the Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS). Her scientific interests into establishing the interaction of different types of cell lines with synthetic or natural material, as well as nanoscale materials (nanoparticles) for application in modern biomedicine: The evaluation of the biocompatibility and applicability of these biomaterials is carried out by considering cytotoxicity and following changes in the adhesive phenotype of cells, cell contacts and especially changes in the cell boundary complex, the first structure with which materials interact. The contribution nature of the research is fundamental – establishing the mechanisms of the changes in the cell membrane by means of different signaling molecules and pathways that have an impact on the cell border complex and cell physiology.
