Prof. Tatjana Avšič-Županc has worked at the Institute of Microbiology and Immunology at the
Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ljubljana since 1 January 1983. She was elected Assistant Lecturer in 1989, Assistant Professor in 1993, Associate Professor in 1999, and Full Professor of Microbiology and Immunology in 2004. She became Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Split, Croatia in December 2001. She directs her research activities to the study of natural foci
of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Slovenia and to the study of Hantavirus biology, which causes such infections. The results of her extensive studies significantly contributed to the knowledge of the epidemiology, taxonomy, and biology of Hantavirus infections, as well as to the knowledge of
prevalence of this disease in the region. In more recent times, she extended the scope of her research to the field of molecular microbial ecology, which, in the natural environment, is transferred by various vectors. Her laboratory thus became a part of the European network supervising the spread of non-endemic
deadly viral diseases (European Network of Imported Viral Diseases). She is an internationally recognized scholar and expert in the field of virology. The main fields of her academic and scientific activities are research endeavors in the field of recent pathogens transmitted by different vectors.
