I obtained my Master’s degree in Molecular Biology at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. My thesis research focused on the activation of microglia in the mouse brain after a stereotaxic injection of lentiviral vectors. In October 2025, I joined the MIKRO group at the National Institute of Biology as a PhD student under the mentorship of Dr. Katarina Bačnik and Dr. Nataša Mehle. The main focus of my PhD research is exploring the viral diversity of invertebrates and the survival of these viruses outside their hosts. Currently, my work is primarily focused on studying the survival of plant viruses in insect frass and investigating their ability to infect healthy plants fertilized with frass
