In 2016 Anastasiia acquired bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering in St.-Petersburg State Chemical-Pharmaceutical University (Russia), where she has received first class honours diploma. During her bachelor’s degree in 2015 she undertook an internship in Pfizer Inc in the US, where  she worked on the design of a jacketed reactor for process optimization, that was required on one of the facilities of the company.

After graduation she worked as Chemical Engineer in the Saint-Petersburg State Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums (2016 – 2017).

In 2018 she acquired a Master of Professional Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in University of Sydney. As a part of her master’s program she participated in biomedical exchange project with the Biotech laboratory in University of Trento (Italy), where took part in the research of protein-based scaffolds for tissue engineering.

In 2021 she finished her Master of Research program (2020-2021) in Macquarie University and started PhD (2021-2024) with the project aimed to analyse how gold nanoparticles fundamentally interact with proteins via advanced characterization of gold nanoparticles after preincubation with BSA and their toxicological profile to control their biological behaviour and properties.
