Ena grew up in Zagreb, Croatia and graduated from University of Rochester in 2019 with a B.S. in Molecular Genetics. There, she worked in Dr. Vera Gorbunova’s lab studying the cancer resistance and longevity mechanisms in long lived rodents with a particular focus on the innate immune response to the activation of retrotransposable elements in tumorigenesis and aging. To continue exploring her long-lasting interest in genome and epigenome instability, she also performed research in Agata Smogorzewska’s lab at Rockefeller University and Maria Jasin’s lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Now a PhD student in Jason Buenrostro’s lab, she studies epigenetic changes induced by chronic inflammation which predispose tissues to tumorigenesis.
