More than 10 years of experience in the isolation and characterization of bacteria with plant-growth-promoting and biological control abilities. My team has pivotal research in Serbia using beneficial bacteria, especially in biological control against many phytopathogens including a tight collaboration with industrial partners on the development of microbial solutions for sustainable agriculture. Additionally, complementary expertise to the biotechnological background and bio-conservation processes of cultural heritage are also within main interests.
