My main research activity is investigating the intreactions between nanomaterials and enzymes, especially acetylcholinesterase, and the impact of protein corona on the biological activity of nanomaterials.
My research interests are also in:
- Enzyme kinetics
- Biochemistry
- Protein structure
I graduated in pre-Bologna study of Biology (2009) from the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The title of the thesis is Effects of drainage ditch cleaning on the presence of amphibians in a part of Ljubljansko barje [ pdf ]
