Emilia Wiechec has received MSc degree in the field of biotechnology of microorganisms from the University of Silesia (Poland) and PhD in the area of cancer biology and genetics from the University of Aarhus (Denmark). She is currently an assistant professor at the Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Linköping University, Sweden. Her research area spans both cancer and genes that regulate (cancer) cell stemness. She investigates pro-survival and apoptotic pathways triggered in cancer (stem) cells (CSCs) by anticancer drugs. Her research interest encompasses cancer genetics, cancer stem cell biology and anti-cancer treatment. She aims at development of new anti-cancer drugs, preferentially targeting CSCs. See less
