Biography

Born and raised in a quaint Serbian town, I earned my BSc/MSc degrees from the University of Belgrade before relocating to Belgium. There, I joined Frank Claessens' lab, exploring the androgen receptor's role in diverse diseases. Later, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, I worked with Wilbert Zwart on investigating transcription factor action in various cancer types using omics, screening, and computational methodologies.

Research groups

Chromatin-related factors and cellular plasticity

Research aim

The group focuses on chromatin-related factors and their effects on cellular phenotypes, employing a range of state-of-the-art omics techniques. Our objective is to uncover targetable pathways that can effectively eliminate cancer cells.
