Biography:
Ružica Tomičić has completed her PhD in biotechnology from Faculty of Technology, University of Novi Sad, Serbia in 2018. Currently she is employed at the Faculty of Technology, University of Novi Sad and work as a Researcher in the Laboratory of Microbiology. During doctoral studies, she had the opportunity to be involved in a research project at the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana, Slovenia where she gained experience in working with pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. As a part of her PhD thesis she studied the influence of environmental factors on microbial adhesion to biotic (such as human colon carcinoma cells HT29-MTX-E12) and abiotic (such as polystyrene, stainless steel, wood) surfaces. Antimicrobial resistance and the search for new alternative solutions such as plant extracts, essential oils and probiotics are of her special scientific interest. She is a member of Serbian Society for Microbiology and a winner of FEMS Research Grant for 2017.
