Senior researcher at the Laboratory for aquaculture and pathology of aquatic organisms, Division for marine and environmental research. Experienced in evaluation of stress response of marine bivalves related to exposure to potentially harmfull polutants. Current research interests shaped by sensitivity of farmed bivalves from eastern Adriatic aquaculture to numerous natural and anthropogenic pressures, with the emphasis on physiological stress and susceptibility to bacterial pathogens. Also focused on the occurrence of exotic and potentially invasive species and how they might affect both wild and farmed bivalves within vulnerable protected marine environments in the eastern Adriatic.

Studied biotechnology at the Faculty of food technology and biotechnology, University of Zagreb. She is a Senior Adviser in the Department for Thematic Areas of Framework Programmes in Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes, and nominated National Contact Point for Cluster 5: Climate, Energy and Mobility and for Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment in Horizon Europe programme. Her previous experience includes working on topics of sustainable development and adaptation to climate change. 

She is the head of the genetics laboratory. Her research interests include phytochemistry and plant genetics, and the application of molecular plants in the protection and conservation of genetic resources in horticulture.

She is a Pharmacist with a Ph.D. in Applied Biology and Environmental Safeguard. She conducts research focusing on the study of pharmacological activity and chemical structure of natural compounds from various sources. In particular, she investigated the health properties of bitter compounds from Humulus lupulus L., Gentiana lutea L., and Citrus bergamia Risso & Poit. to provide innovative food supplements for human uses.

Senior scientist at  Department of Molecular Biology. She has been a Head of Laboratory for Chemical biology since 2008. Salopek Sondi B. has long term experience in plant physiology and molecular biology, with special focus to the role of plant bioactive molecules in plant growth and stress response in Brassicaceae. 

She is a Head of the Laboratory for plant molecular biology.  Her previous and current research activities include:  plant acclimation response (antioxidative system, secondary metabolites, gene expression) to abiotic stress, such as high nutrient imbalances, metal excess, and drought, and bioactive potential of plant secondary metabolites. She coordinated and participated in numerous national and international projects, and also supervised several PhD and MSc students. 

Postdoctoral Researcher in the Analytical Toxicology and Mineral Metabolism Unit . As a nutritionist, her work focuses on the evaluation of health benefits and potential risks from dietary metal exposure in humans, especially in the most sensitive population groups, such as pregnant women and young children. She is a collaborator in several research projects. In addition to her scientific work, she is active in promoting science through activities of the ˝IMImobil˝ project.

Senior Research Associate at Division for Marine and Environmental Research in the Laboratory for Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology. As a microbial ecologist, her work focuses on the characterization of microbial communities in their natural environments, including soil, marine and freshwater ecosystems, with emphasis on environments stressed by various types of anthropogenic stressors, mostly by pollutants and climate change. Her work emphasizes the importance of considering the "hidden majority" of microbes when it comes to the health of all of Earth's ecosystems, and the importance of considering them in the context of climate change scenarios. 

Associate Proffesor in the Laboratory for Phytochemistry. Her main scientific interest is plasticity of special plant metabolism under different environmental conditions. She currently leads one international and two national projects, and is a collaborator on two scientific and one national infrastructural project.
