Irena Krga, Ph.D.

Dr. Krga’s research focuses on the role of dietary habits in pancreatic carcinogenesis and the development of strategies, including dietary interventions and novel pharmacological agents, for pancreatic cancer treatment. She also investigates the impact of diets, foods, and bioactive compounds in preventing or ameliorating cardiometabolic and age-related disorders. Using omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) combined with bioinformatics analyses, her research aims to identify key molecular targets and cellular pathways underlying preventive and therapeutic strategies across cancer, cardiometabolic diseases, and aging-related disorders.
