Koleginica Nikolina Dukić je 31.10.2025. na Fakultetu za fizičku hemiju uspešno odbranila svoj diplomski rad "Proučavanje redoks metabolizma zelenih mikroalgi primenom EPR spektroskopije", rađen pod mentorstvom prof. dr Ane Popović Bijelić u okviru projekta PRIZMA - BioSynthClust, finsansiranog od strane Fonda za nauku Republike Srbije. Čestitamo mentoru i koleginici Nikolini na uspešno odbranjenom diplomskom radu i želimo joj puno uspeha u daljem radu! 🌿

On October 31, 2025, colleague Nikolina Dukić successfully defended her undergraduate thesis at the Faculty of Physical Chemistry, entitled "Study of Redox Metabolism in Green Microalgae Using EPR Spectroscopy", conducted under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ana Popović Bijelić within the framework of the PRIZMA – BioSynthClust project, funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia. Congratulations to the mentor and our colleague Nikolina on successfully defending her undergraduate thesis, and best wishes for her future career! 🌿

Koleginica dr Ana Popović Bijelić učestvovala je na FEBS3+Meeting-u, gde je predstavila rezultate istraživanja ostvarene kroz BioSynthClust projekat. Zahvaljujemo se Ani na predanom radu i doprinosu našem timu.

Our colleague Dr. Ana Popović Bijelić took part in the FEBS3+Meeting, where she presented research results achieved within the BioSynthClust project. We are grateful to Ana for her dedicated work and contribution to our team.

On September 24, 2025, the PI of our team, Dr. Ivan Spasojević, gave a lecture on “Versatile traits of green microalgae in sequestrating an excess of environmental manganese” at the final meeting of the @biolaweb project. We would like to thank them for the invitation and wish them much success in their future projects.

23.09.2025. je PI našeg tima dr Ivan Spasojević održao predavanje na temu "Versatile traits of green microalgae in sequestrating an excess of environmental manganese" u okviru završetka projekta @biolaweb. Ovim putem se zahvaljujemo na pozivu i želimo im puno uspjeha u narednim projektima.

Belgrade, April 10th, 2025

U sklopu projekta BioSynthClust, u novembru 2024 održana je kratka obuka rada sa kulturama mikroalgi, gde su naše naše mlade kolegenice imale priliku da steknu praktična znanja o njihovom uzgoju i primeni u biotehnološkim procesima. 🔬✨Tokom treninga, pokazano je kako kultivisati mikroalge, optimizovati uslove za njihov rast i analizirati njihovu biološku aktivnost. Ova edukacija je važan korak ka razvoju inovativnih biotehnoloških rešenja zasnovanih na mikroorganizmima.📍 Hvala svim učesnicima na angažovanju i entuzijazmu!

As part of the BioSynthClust project, a short training session on working with microalgae cultures was held in November last year. Our young colleagues had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in cultivating microalgae and exploring their applications in biotechnological processes. 🔬✨During the training, participants learned how to culture microalgae, optimize growth conditions, and analyze their biological activity. This education is an important step toward developing innovative biotechnological solutions based on microorganisms.📍 A big thank you to all participants for their engagement and enthusiasm!
