Ing. Denisa Harvanová PhD. has been working as an researcher at the Associated Tissue Bank at the Faculty of Medicine, P.J Šafarik University in Košice since 2002, focusing on tissue engineering. She graduated on Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology STU in Bratislava, in the field of Chemistry and Technology of Materials. She gained experience in the field of tissue engineering also during foreign research fellowships (Martin-Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, University of Minho, School of Engineering, Braga, Portugal). She is currently foscussing on research of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from various tissues and their potential in the treatment of various musculoskeletal diseases and studying of extracellular vesicles. She is the supervisor of 1 doctoral thesis, 8 diploma theses (7 defended) and 2 ŠVOČ theses. She participated on several projects (17) of basic and applied research. She is the author or. co-author of 87 scientific (27 in CC, WoS or Scopus) and professional papers published in foreign and domestic journals, which were cited more than 725 times in WoS / Scopus.
