I hold a Bachelor's degree in Molecular biology and MSc in Neurobiology from the University of Belgrade, Serbia. My primary research interest is understanding the ecological and evolutionary drivers of snake venom variation.
For my PhD thesis, I am investigating the diversification of Vipera ammodytes venom across the Balkan Peninsula using proteomics (bottom-up approach and high-throughput venomics) and geospatial tools (ecological niche modelling).
Previously, my research focused on the ecophysiology of stress response and antipredator behaviours in non-venomous snakes. I am also interested in studying the biodiversity and conservation of herpetofauna in temperate and arid regions.
