Dr. Suzana Živković

Dr. Suzana Živković completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Kragujevac, and subsequently obtained a Master's degree and PhD from the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. She has been working at IBISS in the Department of Plant Physiology since 2002. The scientific research activity of Dr. Živković belongs to the field of physiology and molecular biology of plants, biotechnology and phytochemistry and is largely focused on the study of processes and mechanisms of plant defense against stress caused by extreme abiotic environmental factors. She is particularly interested in studying the biology of various fern species, especially a specialized group within the class of desiccation-tolerant or "resurrection plants". In addition, Dr. Živković has extensive experience in working with plasma-chemical processes and the physiological response of seeds and plants to low-temperature plasma treatment. She is involved in international and national projects and has supervised or co-supervised numerous master's and doctoral theses. Dr. Živković is a member of the Serbian Plant Physiology Society (DFBS) and the Federation of European Societies for Plant Biology (FESPB).
