Dr. Jasmina Živanović

Dr Jasmina Živanović is a senior research associate at the Department of Cytology at IBISS. She received her Ph.D. in 2013 at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. In the period from 2008 to 2019, she participated in two projects of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia. Her research interest is focused on examination of the effects of substances of natural origin, isoflavones of soy, on the regulation of function of the key regulators of mineral metabolism in an animal model of the andropause. Additionally, an important direction of her research is the investigation of the aging process in a different animal models as well as the impact of citrus polyphenols on the endocrine system and redox regulation. Dr Živanović was postdoctoral researcher, for two and a half years, in Dr. Miloš Filipović’s group in the laboratory Signaling by Gasotransmitters, Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Genetics, CNRS, University of Bordeaux, France. Her research was focused on developing a new selective method for detecting persulfidated proteins as well as determining the physiological roles of persulfidation in in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Dr Živanović was the leader of the Diaspora project approved by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia (2021-2023). Jasmina is a work package coordinator of the project ADVANCED, approved by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia within the program PRIZME (2024-2027). Currently, in the Department of Cytology her particular interest is investigation of the levels of persulfidation after administration of citrus flavanones in a model of naturally aged male rats. She is also a member of the Serbian Society for Microscopy, the European Society for Microscopy, the Society of Physiologists of Serbia and the Serbian Society for Molecular Biology.
