In 2020, Nicole graduated from the St. Petersburg State Technical University with a degree in Biotechnology.

After defending her bachelor`s thesis “Synthesis of supermagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and assessment of their effect on the functional properties of stem cells in vitro”, she decided to continue working at the interface of disciplines. After becoming part of “Experimental Oncology and Immunology” team under the master's program based on SCAMT, she joined to studies of the mechanisms of tumor cell death when combining nanoparticles with amino acid derivatives.
