Dr. Gorana Jendrišek is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Prof. Sara Sigismund’s lab, where she investigates the molecular mechanisms regulating non-clathrin endocytosis of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its role in cell physiology and cancer. She obtained her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Molecular Biology and Physiology from the University of Belgrade, where she developed a strong interest in cell signaling. As a participant in the Kupcinet-Getz International Summer School at the Weizmann Institute, she worked in Prof. Yosef Yarden's lab, studying the role of EGFR/ErbB2 in cancer. Motivated by her passion for this field, she continued her research on EGFR in the Endocytosis, Signaling, and Cancer Lab at IEO, focusing on the molecular characterization of non-clathrin endocytosis. In 2022, she earned her PhD in Molecular Oncology through the SEMM PhD Program at IEO and the University of Milan, with a thesis titled Regulation and Physiological Role of Non-Clathrin Endocytosis of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor. In 2021, she was awarded a three-year AIRC Fellowship to study the role of non-clathrin endocytosis of EGFR in cell physiology and breast cancer.
