151 Curriculum Vitae
Sandra Zovko was geboren op 28 augustus 1978 in Tuzla, Bosnië en Herzegovina (ex- Joegoslavië). In 1993, door de burgeroorlog in Bosnië, vluchtte ze met haar familie naar Nederland. In 1998 behaalde ze haar VWO diploma aan de Openbare middelbare schoolgemeenschap Wolfert van Borselen in Rotterdam. Hetzelfde jaar begon ze aan haar studie Bio-farmaceutische wetenschappen aan de Universiteit Leiden. In 2002/2003 liep ze stage bij de afdeling Toxicologie (LACDR) onder begeleiding van Drs. Raoef Imamdi en Prof. Dr. Bob van de Water. Gedurende haar stage heeft ze onderzoek verricht naar de moleculaire mechanismen van cytotoxiciteit van cisplatina in de context van het acute nierfalen. In 2003 behaalde ze haar doctoraal examen. In november van hetzelfde jaar begon ze haar promotieonderzoek in de groep van Prof. Dr. Bram Koster (toen groep van Dr. Henk Koerten, LUMC) onder begeleiding van Dr. Mieke Mommaas.
De resultaten van het verrichte onderzoek zijn gepresenteerd in dit proefschrift. Sinds het afronden van haar promotieonderzoek, in april 2008, is ze werkzaam als postdoc in het lab van Prof. Dr. Bob van de Water (Sectie Toxicologie, LACDR). Ze werkt aan het project getiteld ‘MetaFight- Understanding and fighting metastasis via dissection of the Core Invasive Machinery”.
Curriculum Vitae
Sandra Zovko was born on 28th of August 1978 in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina (former Yugoslavia). Due to the civil war in Bosnia, she fled with her family in 1993 to The Netherlands. She graduated from Gymnasium (VWO) in 1998 at Wolfert van Borselen in Rotterdam. That same year Sandra started her Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences study at Leiden University. In 2002/2003 she did the internship at the department of Toxicology under supervision of Drs. Raoef Imamdi and Prof. Dr. Bob van de Water.
During this internship she performed research on the molecular mechanisms of cisplatin- induced cyto-toxicity in the context of acute renal failure. She got her Masters Degree in 2003, where after she started as PhD student at the group of Prof. Dr. Bram Koster (at that time group of Dr. Henk Koerten, LUMC) under supervision of Dr. Mieke Mommaas.
The results of the performed research are presented in this thesis. In April 2008, after finishing her PhD study, she joined as postdoc the group of Prof. Dr. Bob van de Water (Division of Toxicology, LACDR). She is currently working on a large EU project entitled
‘MetaFight- Understanding and fighting metastasis via dissection of the Core Invasive Machinery”.
