CV


Brankica Filipić graduated in 2007 from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade and in 2013 she defended her PhD thesis: “Functional characterization of the CmbT transporter responsible for multidrug resistance on structurally different substrates of the strain Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris MG1363”, mentored by Professor Jelena Antić Stanković, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade and Full Research Professor Nataša Golić, Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering (IMGGE), University of Belgrade.

Since February 2008, she has been employed as a Teaching Associate at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and was promoted to Assistant Professor (2016-2021), and Associate Professor (2021 -to date) for the scientific field Microbiology with Immunology and Immunochemistry.

Brankica Filipic is involved in teaching Microbiology, Selected Topics of Microbiology and Laboratory Microbiology (integrated academic studies) and Biological Medicines, Sanitary Chemistry and Critical review of the literature (postgraduate academic studies).

For the purpose of professional development Brankica Filipic was visiting researcher at the University of Exeter, Exeter, UK and University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
