She received her PhD in 2013 from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, where she worked with surface-adhered vesicles to mimic cellular migration, in particular chemo- and thermotaxis, and investigated lipid membrane fractures in model systems and biological cells. She completed a year of postdoctoral work with the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology, where she studied cell membrane damage in the context of cryopreservation. Irep was a recipient of the international post doctoral grant from the Swedish National Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). - ## Research projects [Artificial cells](/research-areas/artificial-cells) - ## Current and former members [Alumni](/taxonomy/term/14601) [Former postdocs](/taxonomy/term/14646)
