Dr. Ivana Šišoláková has been working since 2022 as an university associated professor at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Faculty of Science, UPJŠ in Košice. In 2019 she gets her PhD. Degree at the Department of Physical Chemistry UPJŠ and the topic of her dissertation thesis was Nanomaterials for electrocatalytic applications. In her research, she has been developing new types of electrochemical sensors for disease diagnosis for several years, prioritizing the development of a non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor for insulin detection as a new approach to diabetes diagnosis. Following the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, her research shifted to the development of an electrochemical biosensor for the detection of viral diseases, in particular SARS-CoV2. Since 2020 she is part of the research team EDEVIR which was chosen as the Scientific and technical team of the year 2021. Despite her short position as a researcher, the responsible researcher participated in many foreign and domestic conferences, as evidenced by the large number of presentations (61) and foreign internships in Jena (Germany), Brno (Czech Republic), Zlín (Czech Republic), Prague (Czech Republic), and Vienna. The result of her scientific work was published in 18 publications registered in Scopus, for which more than 200 citations are registered in SCI, and she is co-author of student book focused on electrochemistry. Dr. Šišoláková works in 2023 as a postdoctoral researcher at Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín and the collaboration is focused on the application of FeS clusters on the electrode surface and its testing for bioanalytes determination. Based on this cooperation national patent application number D22008706 entitled “Modified carbon electrodes with higher conductivity and the method of their production” was submitted. Šišoláková received several awards, and in 2021 she became a finalist in the prestigious scientific award in Slovakia ESET SCIENCE AWARD, where she presented research focused on the development of electrochemical sensors.
