Anna Yanovska

Ph.D., Associate professor

Description of the field of scientific research:

Anna has a PhD in Chemistry, is an Associate Professor of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Chemistry at Sumy State University, and has been working for over 14 years creating biomaterials and composites based on hydroxyapatite for biomedical applications in dentistry and orthopedics. Her research interests include developing materials to improve soil properties, prolonged-release fertilizers, and soil conditioners.

List of duties:

Anna is interested in the synthesis of biomaterials (scaffolds, hydrogels, powders, flakes) based on hydroxyapatite and biopolymers; synthesis of calcium-phosphate substituted materials and coatings for medical implants; surface modification, hydrogel synthesis, electrospinning of membranes based on biopolymers, green synthesis, creation of granular fertilizers and soil additives that improve their fertility and properties, and the use of eco-friendly technologies. She is also researching fertilizer surface modification, granulation, multilayer structures of nanoporous materials, and nanoparticle synthesis.

Professional experience:

From 2008 to 2014, Hanna worked as a junior researcher at the Department of Radiation Biophysics at the Institute of Applied Physics. From 2014 to 2017, she was a researcher at the Department of Radiation Biophysics at the Institute of Applied Physics. From 2015 to 2017, she was also an assistant at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Chemistry at Sumy State University, and since 2021, she has been an associate professor at the same department.

In addition, the scientist has been a member of the Scientific and Methodological Council of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine since 2019 and a reviewer for the American Ceramic Society, Materials Science and Engineering C (Elsevier), Materials Chemistry and Physics (Elsevier), Applied Surface Science (Elsevier), Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry (Thomson Reuters).

  MXenes are a new family of recently discovered 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides. The immune characterisation of the new materials on the basis of their physical-chemical and immunological properties will open up perspectives for the development of new therapeutic applications of nanomaterials in tissue engineering, cancer therapy, as antibacterial agents, and as immunomodulators. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MX-MAP project will develop key strategies for MXene medical applications. The long-term goal of MX-MAP is to create a pipeline using new MXene nanomaterials for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of immunological compatibility in biomedical applications. This international research/training programme aims to support the career development of young researchers with an interdisciplinary vision of science.
