Alica Vikartovska (Welwardová) received her PhD. degree in biochemistry at the Institute of Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences (Bratislava, Slovakia) in 1998. Since 1990 she works at this Institute in the following areas: characterisation of immobilised biocatalysts using  thermal biosensors, encapsulation of cells and enzymes, biospecific adsorption of the glycoenzymes on immobilised lectins etc. She has published about 35 scientific articles, reviews and patents with current Hirsch index h=12 (Thomson Reuters).
