Stanila Stoeva-Grigorova was born in 1992 in Silistra, Bulgaria, where she graduated with distinction from the Secondary School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences “St. Kliment Ohridski" (with intensive study of Biology and Chemistry).
In 2017, she completed her Master's degree in Pharmacy with distinction at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University 'Prof. Dr. Paraskev Stoyanov' in Varna. During her studies, she served as head of the Committee for Public Activities and Campaigns at the Association of Pharmacy Students – Varna (AFSV). In 2015, she was awarded the annual scholarship of the Bulgarian Pharmaceutical Union for pharmacy students.
In 2016, she participated in a summer internship program in pharmaceutical practice at the First Moscow State Medical University “I.M. Sechenov," Russia. In 2017, she underwent training in the use of a modular high-performance liquid chromatography system (Thermo Scientific UltiMate 3000 HPLC), configured with quaternary pump, UV-VIS, DAD, and fluorescence detectors.
Since 2018, she has held the position of pharmacist specializing in drug product analysis at the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Pharmacotherapy, Medical University – Varna. She currently leads the department's chromatographic analysis laboratory.
In 2019, she completed a certified course on “Protection and Humane Treatment of Laboratory Animals Used for Scientific or Educational Purposes." In 2021, she successfully defended her PhD dissertation titled: “New Aspects in the Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Capecitabine in Biological and Non-Biological Samples," earning a PhD degree.
In the same year, she was appointed Chief Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Pharmacotherapy. In 2024, she obtained a specialization in Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy at the Medical University – Varna.
