I was to shy to dream big, but my life role model was Marie Curie-Skłodowska, after whom I inherited my second name (Marie). Mostly because she was such an independent and intelligent women, I am very proud that we had such amazing scientist in our country. At school, I was a horse rider with average school grades until I moved to the UK where I discovered my lve towards biology. I've been always interested in genetics, but never considered myself capable of entering scientific career path. Teachers allowed me to believe I could make it to the university without problems and I applied for a human genetics course at The University of Nottingham. After my first week there I knew that was the best decision I have made in my entire life and I started my genetics adventure which led me to the PhD position at LMU in Munich. Why genetics? The processes and amount of information hidden in our genes is astonishing, it will take us few more decades to understand enough to be able to help people on daily basis. Nevertheless, I think that my area of research can be very useful in future in early diagnosis of many diseases and syndromes and if we understand how those happen in our bodies, we may be able to revert the processes and cure patients.
