Mrs. Nicole Matejka | Oncology | Best Researcher Award

University of the Bundeswehr Munich | Germany

Nicole Matejka is a biophysics researcher specializing in biomedical radiation physics and cellular imaging, with a strong publication record in cancer cell communication via tunneling nanotubes. Her research explores the mechanisms through which glioblastoma cells use nanotube-mediated networks to enhance radiation resistance and tumor progression. She has authored three peer-reviewed papers in Cells, Frontiers in Oncology, and Radiation Oncology, These publications include high-impact studies on α-particle radiation effects and live-cell microscopic characterization of intercellular networks. In total, her document count stands at 3 indexed papers, all as lead or co-author, reflecting a focused and productive research trajectory in cellular biophysics. Her findings have been presented at prestigious conferences, including the International Congress of Radiation Research and the German Society for Medical Physics, where she received multiple awards such as the Radiation Research Society Trainee Travel Award and the European Radiation Research Society Best Poster Award. Through rigorous experimentation and advanced imaging techniques, Matejka’s contributions significantly advance understanding of radiation-induced intercellular communication in cancer biology.
