Biography

I am a molecular biologist currently working in Laboratory for phytochemistry at University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science where my main goal is to investigate the chain interaction between high environmental temperature (HT), plant metabolic parameters and physiological parameters of mammals (which feed on plants exposed to temperature stress), using a targeted specific metabolomic approach for plant analysis.

I have obtained my PhD working in Laboratory of Genetics and Epigenetics under the mentorship of PhD, Assoc. Prof. Aleksandar Vojta where I am researching the mechanism of IgG Fab and Fc chain glycosylation pathway and potential GWAS hits for glycosylation with epigenetic CRISPR/dCas9 modular system in suspension stable monoclonal cell lines HEK293-FreeStyle with dCas9/VPR or dCas9/KRAB domains stably integrated in cells genome. I also have great experience in lentiviral packaging, work with in vivo mouse and rat models and complex cell lines such as lmyphoblastoid cell line.

Additionally, I have two years of experience in working with plant tissue culture, bacterial and yeast strains. During my internship and Master's thesis internship I've mostly worked with recombinant protein expression and have mastered basic molecular methods such as Western blot, pull down, yeast two hybrid, X-Gal test, PCR, molecular cloning, optimizations of protein expression and solubility and other methods. I have great experience in plant tissue cultivation and manipulation as well as in bacterial and yeast cultivation.
