About me
- I am a PhD student at the Reproductive Endocrinology and Metabolism group lead by Elisabet Stener-Victorin. I come from Serbia, I graduated from Karolinska Institutet's Master in Biomedicine in 2023, and did my Bachelor degree at University College Maastricht in the Netherlands.
Research
- My current research focuses on understanding cellular-level functional changes in adipose and endometrium tissue in polycystic ovary syndrome. I work mostly with primary human adipose and endometrium cell cultures, including in vitro differentiation and organoids. However, my work also includes basic sequencing-based bioinformatics and clinical data analysis.
Teaching
- I have the Dutch University Teaching Qualification (BKO) certificate after teaching for two years as a Junior Teaching Fellow at undergraduate level at Maastricht University in courses including basic research methodology and academic writing.
