Valentina Simeunović

Valentina Simeunović is a PhD student in the Molecular Biology study program, in the Animal and Human Physiology module at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. She completed her undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, on the Molecular Biology study program, on the Molecular Biology and Physiology module, while she completed her master's studies at the Faculty of Biology, on the Experimental Physiology of Animals and Humans module.

Valentina is employed as a research trainee at the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković" (IBISS), Institute of National Importance for the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade in the Laboratory for Molecular Neurobiology and Behavior. Her area of research includes monitoring the effect of different nutritional regimes (dietary restriction, fermented food) on behavioral and molecular changes in the brain during aging. In addition, the effects of these treatments on changes in the male and female reproductive system during different periods of life are monitored.

Valentina completed training in Laboratory Animal Science at the Department of Comparative Physiology and Ecophysiology at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. In 2022, she also attended a summer school called "Molecular Targets for antiaging interventions" (Joint IUBMB/FEBS Advanced Lecture Course, "Molecular Targets for antiaging interventions").

Valentina is an active member of the European Program for Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technological Research (COST), the Federation of European Neurosciences (FENS), the Neuroscience Society of Serbia (DNS) and the ALBA Society (The ALBA Network).
