Margarita Ivanova, PhD
Director of Translational Research Unit
Research interests are at the intersection of lysosomal storage disorders, new biomarkers development, and novel therapies. One focus area is the development and implementation of individual screening of novel therapies for patients with rare genetic diseases. My studies include many aspects of translational research utilizing experimental contributions to the fields of autophagy-lysosomal pathway, mitochondrial function, and sphingolipid metabolism.
