Bio
Born in Bulgaria, I have successfully completed a Bachelor`s degree in Molecular Biology at Sofia University, Bulgaria, and a Master`s degree in Biochemistry at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. After research in immunology in Cambridge, UK, I came back to Munich where I conducted research on cancer immunotherapy. I am currently doing my PhD in Cancer Biology working on targeted cancer therapies at ETH Zurich, the University Hospital Basel and Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.
I want to dive into as many parts of life as possible, to learn, explore, develop and improve in many directions. I am strongly interested in writing (creative writing, articles), psychology, psychotherapy. Additionally, I also do calligraphy and photography.

The TED story
As a TED translator, I am on a quest for language literacy, transferring the speaker`s ideas in the best way possible so that the person who will use the translation will be able to clearly and accurately understand it and form their own opinion.
