Kseniia Pertova

Kseniia Pertova is a 30-year-old Russian scientist previously associated with the renowned Kirschner Lab at Harvard Medical School, where she was instrumental in developing software scripts for a groundbreaking cancer diagnosis microscope. However, her critical contributions to the field are now jeopardized as she has been detained in an immigration center in Louisiana since February, facing deportation to Russia, where she fears persecution for her anti-war activism related to the Ukraine conflict.
