I was born on 7th May 1985 in Cacak, Serbia. I obtained my PhD, focused on phylogenetic analysis of hantaviral molecular evolution, at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade in 2018. I am currently working as a Research Associate at the Institute of Microbiology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade. As a team member, coordinated by prof. Maja Stanojevic, I was actively involved in diagnostic of COVID-19 at the NRL Torlak. I am an experienced researcher in the fields of molecular virology, phylogenetic analyses and bioinformatics. During nine-year research experience, I have reached skills in advanced phylogenetic techniques, including on in depth phylogenetic and phylodynamic analysis. My research is based on investigation and characterization of the transmission and evolutionary dynamic, local transmission networks as well as phylogenetic estimation of the time of the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of highly variable viruses. Up to now, I have been involved in several national and international projects granted by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technical Development of the Republic of Serbia. I am an author/co-author on 19 scientific papers and 36 abstracts presented at the scientific conferences, with h-index of 5.
