Dr. Monika Kos

[ email | bibliography ]

I graduated in Structural and functional biology (September, 2013) from Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The title of my Master science thesis is:  Impact of ionophore coccidiostat monenzin on the kinetics of copper in an earthworm Eisenia andrei.

In October, 2013 I enrolled in the interdisciplinary doctoral study Biosciences, research area Nanosciences, coordinated by the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana and became a young researcher in the Group for nanobiology and nanotoxicology.
