Erica Frostegård is a PhD student at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology at CNRS in Strasbourg. She completed her Master’s degree in Nanotechnology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in July 2023. During her studies, spanning both her time at NTNU and her year at Politecnico di Milano on an Erasmus exchange program, she developed an interest in the application of nanoparticles in the biomedical field, and her master’s thesis focused on designing magnetic nanoparticles for the selective extraction of specific secondary structures of DNA.
In the Melomanes project, Erica is working on developing chemical strategies for the covalent multifunctionalization of iron carbide nanoparticles and assessing the particles’ biodegradability.
