Alena Yaluri (née Stančáková) graduated in general medicine at the Medical Faculty of P. J. Šafárik University in Košice, Slovakia in 2004. During years 2004-2007 she pursued her post-graduate studies and clinical training in internal medicine at the same institution and graduated with a thesis on „Genetics of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes“ in 2008. During years 2007-2018 she worked as a researcher at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) in Kuopio, Faculty of Health Sciences, where she graduated as a Doctor of Medical Science with a thesis on “Pathophysiology and genetics of impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance” in 2010, and in 2015 was awarded a title “Docent in Diabetes Research” and received a tenure track position as an Assistant Professor in Genetics of metabolic diseases at the UEF. She resigned this position to return back to Slovakia at the end of 2018. Since February 2019 she has been working as a teacher and physician at the Medical Faculty UPJŠ and University Hospital of L. Pasteur, Department of Internal Medicine in Košice, Slovakia and continues her specialist training in internal medicine. During her scientific career Alena Yaluri co-authored 126 original publications (H-index 55), recieved several scientific awards and co-supervised two PhD students. Her research focuses mainly on the genetics of complex diseases such as type 2 diabetes and related phenotypes, and identification of novel genetic markers and biomarkers for the development of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis.
