Anastasia Moskvina is new Brno Ph.D. Talent

From physics at Masaryk University, Anastasia Moskvina was successful in Plasma Physics. Areej works under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Tomáš Homola at the Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications research group. In her project, she will focus on developing MXene-loaded PCL/HA scaffolds modified using cold argon and ammonia plasma. These plasma-induced surface modifications aim to enhance hydrophilicity, protein adsorption, and cell adhesion.
