Biography

Tamara completed her master’s degree in biotechnology at the Biotechnical Faculty of Ljubljana and started working at the National Institute of Biology during her studies. Her work as a professional associate was primarily focused on the use of novel technologies for the inactivation of viruses in wastewaters, and their specific detection by molecular methods, such as classical PCR and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). During her time at the Institute, she also worked on establishing a mammalian cell culture laboratory and implementing workflows and techniques, gaining theoretical and practical knowledge on the handling of mammalian cell lines and viruses.
