I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Biology (2021) and Master’s degree in Molecular and Functional Biology (August 2024) from the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

During my studies, I worked in Professor Drobne’s laboratory, where I gained hands-on experience in:

  • Enzyme adsorption/inhibition assays (e.g., AChE)
  • Cytotoxicity testing (MTT assay, Neutral Red Uptake assay, Resazurin assay, differential staining methods)
  • Cell cultivation
  • Light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy
  • Sample preparation for SEM and FIB/SEM
  • Spectrophotometry and spectrofluorometry
  • Genotoxicity testing (Comet assay)

In October 2025, I began my interdisciplinary doctoral studies in Biosciences, with a research focus on Nanosciences at the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. My primary research interest lies in the biological reactivity of nanomaterials.
