Hana Veler, D.Phil.
Področja:
Hana je leta 2017 diplomirala na Visoki šoli za biološke znanosti Univerze v Nottinghamu z BSc (Hons) diplomo iz mikrobiologije. Istega leta je začela delati doktorat na Univerzi v Oxfordu, kjer je raziskovala interakcijo med polimerazo virusa influence A in celično GTPazo Rab11a. Jeseni 2021 se je Hana pridružila skupini Erica Freeda na Nacionalnem inštitutu za raka v ZDA kot podoktorska raziskovalka, kjer trenutno preučuje virusa HIV-1 in SARS-CoV-2.
