With a background as a distinguished researcher in immuno-oncology, boasting extensive expertise in Drug Development, Cell Biology, Tumor Immunology, Sustainability, and Analytical Skills, the 37-year-old Janičová has now added a remarkable achievement to her repertoire. Her passion for mountaineering serves as a conduit for strengthening both physical and mental well-being, propelling her to greater heights, both in elevation and the walk of life. While asked her the key driver to the summit of Everest, she responded, "When I found out that no Slovak woman had ever climbed Mount Everest, I saw it as a reflection of the deeply rooted gender inequality in our society, and I decided to break this barrier." We are glad to facilitate the successful Everest summit of such accomplished scholar and equality activist, said SST chairman Mingma Sherpa.
