Dr. Jasmina Nestorović Živković

Dr. Jasmina Nestorović Živković completed her undergraduate and PhD studies at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. She has been working at IBISS in the Department of Plant Physiology since 2007. Dr. Nestorović Živković's scientific research focuses on the study of secondary metabolism in plants, especially in endangered and medicinal plant species. Dr. Nestorović Živković's research includes the study of the biological activity of secondary metabolites as well as their mechanisms of action, the study of the molecular basis of secondary metabolite biosynthesis and regulation at the level of transcription factors, all with the aim of creating conditions for metabolic engineering and increased production of bioactive compounds. She is involved in international and national projects. Since 2018, she has participated in science promotion projects: ReFocuS 2.0 (H2020-MSCA-NIGHT-2018), ReFocuS 3.0 (H2020-MSCA-NIGHT-2020) and ReFocuS Art (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-CITIZENS-01-01). She is the coordinator of the project Road to Friday of Science FLOWs (ReFocuS FLOW) from the call HORIZON-MSCA-2023-CITIZENS-01. Dr. Nestorović Živković is a member of the Serbian Plant Physiology Society (DFBS) and the Federation of European Societies for Plant Biology (FESPB).
