Laura Slabejová is a first-year PhD student at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. She studied biology and chemistry at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University, where she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in 2023 and Master’s degree in 2025.

During her Bachelor’s and Master’s studies, her research focused on degradable iron-based biomaterials and their modification to improve their properties for biomedical applications. Her work included the incorporation of copper as well as the development of polymer coatings containing bioactive and antibacterial agents, with the aim of designing functional materials for medical devices.

Throughout her studies, she presented her research at the Student Research Conference at UPJŠ, where she was awarded first place in 2025. She also received a diploma from the Slovak Chemical Society for the best Master’s thesis in the field of chemistry at the Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice in the academic year 2024/2025.

Currently, her research focuses on the development of titanium-based implants for regenerative medicine. As part of her PhD research, she investigates 3D-printed porous titanium implants modified with ceramic coatings incorporating therapeutic agents, aiming to improve their performance and functionality for biomedical applications.
