Marian is a research associate supporting Adenine Base Editing studies for CD3D‑SCID. She specializes in NGS assay optimization, PCR troubleshooting, and sequencing QC interpretation, and is actively developing expertise in off‑target analysis. She contributes to risk‑assessment workflows by integrating experimental and computational off‑target datasets into clean, standardized summaries for downstream review. Outside work, Marian has an unapologetic love for horror films and the fabulously wicked villains who star in them. A devoted A Nightmare on Elm Street fan, she once met Robert Englund—long before she traded her suit for a lab coat—and it instantly became a core memory. Proof that sometimes your nightmares leap off the screen, say hello, and absolutely make your day.
