Dr. Andrea Pirković graduated from the Faculty of
Biology, University of Belgrade. She began research work as a PhD student and
scholarship holder of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological
Development of the Republic of Serbia, in 2011 at the Department of Physiology,
Faculty of Pharmacy, in Belgrade. After completing her doctorate, she was
appointed research associate in 2016 and promoted to senior research associate
in 2022. As part of a bilateral project with Italy, she was granted student
exchange mobility from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2013 and
visited the Department of Clinical Sciences, Polytechnic University of Marche,
Ancona, Italy. She received an award for participation in the training workshop
at the Center for Molecular Medicine, Cologne, Germany (CMMC), entitled
“Introduction to translational research”, in 2014. In 2022, she participated in
hands-on training for new applications of the comet assay (in vitro
genotoxicity test) in 3D models within a course called “Advanced comet assay
training course—the use of 3D models and high throughput comet chip” held by
ICAW (International Comet Assay Workshop) and EEMGS (European Environmental Mutagenesis
and Genomics Society) in Maastricht, Netherlands. Her scientific research
is focused on the examination of molecular mediators, cytokines, and hormones
that can cause DNA damage in pathological processes.
