Doc. MUDr. Zuzana Solarova, PhD. is an associate professor of pharmacology at the UPJŠ Faculty of Medicine in Košice. She is a co-guarantor of the doctoral study program in medical pharmacology in the field of pharmacy. Her research focuses on the antitumor effect of natural substances or their synthetic derivatives, focusing on their influence of heat shock proteins (HSPs) by these substances and by their combinations with HSPs inhibitors as potential antitumor drugs. She has been continuously involved in solving projects in this area for 15 years. She is the author or co-author of 69 full-text scientific and professional publications published in domestic and foreign journals, which have been cited 147 times in the WoS / Scopus citation indexes. She is the co-author of three monographs and chapters in monographs and has participated in the preparation of two pharmacology textbooks for medical and pharmaceutical students.
