Tamara Lukić

Tamara Lukić obtained her Bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Belgrade in the 2019 academic year, followed by her Master's degree in the Applied Genetics module in 2020. She then enrolled in doctoral studies in the Genetics module in the same year. Tamara has been employed at IBISS since June 1, 2022. As part of her scientific research activities, Tamara Lukić was mainly dedicated to the study and evaluation of genetic variability and evolutionary relationships of natural populations of rare and protected plant species using various morphological and phytochemical markers, as well as research into the population genetic structure of natural populations using molecular DNA markers. As part of the NEPETOME project of the Idea Programme of the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, she dealt with a special part of research focused on the study of plants of the genus Nepeta. The project deals with the study of the diversity and metabolism of iridoid compounds within the genus Nepeta. In addition, Tamara's research extends to the study of interspecific hybridization within the genus Centaurium, with particular focus on the species C. erythraea Rafn and C. tenuiflorum (Hoffmanns. et Link) Fritsch in the Balkan Peninsula region. Tamara Lukić is a member of the Serbian Genetic Society, Serbian Plant Physiology Society and the Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB).
