I hold a Master’s degree in Management from Riga Technical University, and right now I am on journey towards a Bachelor’s in Psychology. With 10+ years of project management experience in project management across different fields, at Cellbox Labs I now coordinate the full cycle of all EU co‑funded project implementation and management, covering project design and development, procurement, budget planning, report preparation, and public communication. But honestly – the most favourite and important “project” of all time in my life is time with my friends and the people I love. If someone magically added a couple of extra hours to my day, I would happily fill them with books and workouts and never resist travelling or catching an improv theatre show.

I am a researcher at Cellbox Labs, responsible for cell culture and organ-on-a-chip model development. I hold a Master’s degree in Biology from University of Latvia, with a focus on cell and molecular biology. My expertiese lies in the development of in vitro model systems, with particular empahsis on organ-on-a-chip technolgy. During my Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis work, I focused on advanced organ-on-chip modelling and contributed to a wide range of application cases, including cancer research, microbiota studies, drug delivery studies, and model devlopment using primary and patient-derived cells. When I’m not busy building miniature organs, you’ll find me traveling, chasing new expieriences or pushing my limits at the gym. 

With a background in chemical engineering and materials science, I have found myself as a Chip Engineer at Cellbox Labs. My main tasks are with a focus on chip device fabrication, quality, and keeping the stock healthy! As I am family-oriented by nature, I treat chips the same way — with care, patience, and attention to detail. I love turning chaos into organized systems, which have pulled me with one foot also into manufacturing execution, quality control, and inventory workflows. Team culture and environment matter a lot to me, so I tend to hype my colleagues up through daily fun and different team building activities. Outside the lab, I love to train coordination through the dance and piano, enjoy nature and urban exploration, and lose hours to Japanese crosswords!

I hold a medical degree and a research background in microfluidics, specifically focusing on the development of organ-on-chip devices. This blend of clinical insight and technical experience allows me to approach project coordination at Cellbox Labs with a unique perspective. I support our R&D team by streamlining procurement and resource management, ensuring that the bridge between complex lab requirements and logistical execution is seamless. I firmly believe that clarity and structure are the foundations of progress. Outside the lab, I find my balance by exploring the world through travel and recharging through the rhythm of dance.

I am a System Testing Engineer at Cellbox Labs, working where biology meets engineering — and occasionally argues with it. I develop OOC models and perform system testing to ensure devices are not just well-built, but reliably functional and biologically relevant. My days include turning complex biological requirements into testable systems, refining SOPs, setting performance criteria, and stress-testing devices until cells and hardware function as expected. I hold a Master’s degree in Cell and Molecular Biology, with experience in stable cell line models and sensor testing. Outside work, I recharge outdoors in any weather and experiment with specialty coffee and brewing techniques — because optimization doesn’t stop at the lab.

I studied biotechnology and bioengineering at Riga Technical University and the University of Latvia, and now I’m into materials science and nanotechnology, which helps me bridge biology and engineering. Most of my days at Cellbox Labs are spent making organ-on-chip devices, working with microfluidic systems, and participating in testing. On other days, I create digital materials — a very Gen Z habit. In the evenings, I live a very different life as a professional athlete, competing internationally and trying to run as fast as I can. To balance things out, I love baking sweets and making art.
