Iana Lychko is a Postdoctoral Researcher at NOVA University Lisbon, specializing in molecular biology, protein biophysics, protein engineering and development of bio-based materials. With over seven years of R&D experience, she has expertise in recombinant protein production, purification, and characterization, as well as biophysical and material characterization techniques. Dr. Lychko is currently working on PROTEIOS – Protein Tunable Materials for Non-Invasive Sensing (FCT Grant PTDC/CTM-CTM/3389/2021), developing smart sensors for wound monitoring to detect infections before they become severe. She holds a Master’s (2018) and Ph.D. in Biotechnology from FCT-NOVA (defended on October 7th, 2024). She has published multiple peer-reviewed articles (Materials Today Bio, Frontiers in Chemistry, Separation and Purification Technology, etc), with an h-index of 5 and a total of 280 citations. She is also the first author of four published articles, including one for which she created a scientific illustration that was accepted as the cover for a journal issue of Materials Advances. During her studies, in 2017 she completed internships at the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires de Marseille (CNRS, France) under the supervision of Prof. Olga Iranzo, learning peptide synthesis. Moreover in 2022 she did an internship at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) under the supervision Prof. Sophia Hober, where she gained expertise in protein technology and affinity ligand studies. Dr. Lychko has supervised three Master students, helped with research projects management, and contributed to patent preparation. She has an interest in data processing and analysis, with experience in basic Python programming that she applies to analyze complex data and material performance metrics. She has also been actively involved in organizing international scientific meetings and in science communication and knowledge dissemination to diverse audiences. In 2025, Dr. Lychko completed the HiSeedTech entrepreneurship and innovation program as team leader of BioDiffuse, focusing on technology commercialization and business strategy.
