Kristina Djinovic-Carugo has completed her PhD from Ljubljana University and Post-doctoral studies from the University of Pavia and EMBL-Heidelberg. She is the Head of the Department of Structural and Computational Biology at the University of Vienna and the Director of Laura Bassi Center for optimized structural studies. The main area of her research is structural biology of actin based cytoskeleton with focus on striated muscle Z-disk. She uses an integrative structural biology approach, combining high resolution studies with complementary lower resolution biophysical and biochemical approaches. She has published more than 100 papers in international peer reviewed journals and is serving as a member of scientific advisory boards of repute.
