Jiska van der Reest, PhD

Originally from the Netherlands, Jiska performed her Ph.D. research with Prof. Eyal Gottlieb at the Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute in Glasgow. She studied the reciprocal regulation of cellular redox balance & metabolism and developed a new methodology for proteome-wide analysis of cysteine oxidation in cells and tissues. In her postdoc, she will investigate how different cells in the tumour microenvironment influence each other’s metabolic state. 

Still waiting for: the fifth sequel to Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus.
