Dr. Teodora Vidonja Uzelac

Education:
- PhD in Pharmacology - Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, Serbia, 2019.
- MSc, Molecular Biology and Physiology, Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Serbia, 2010.

Research topics:
- Investigation of the effects of various drugs (antipsychotics, anti-seizure drugs, ibogaine) on redox homeostasis in tissues using in vivo models (human erythrocytes and Wistar rats).
- Investigation of the role of a disturbed redox balance on the contractile activity of smooth muscle and investigation of the signaling pathways through which they exert their effects in experimental ex vivo models (ileum and uterus of Wistar rats).Participation in projects:
- “Molecular mechanisms of redox signaling in homeostasis, adaptation and pathology”, funding: Ministry for Education and Science of Republic of Serbia, Grant 173014 (2011-2019).
- “Integrative approach to basic housekeeping metabolism and adaptive plasticity screening in different ex vivo tissue models”, bilateral cooperation between Republic of Slovenia and Republic of Serbia, (2016-2017).
