Tamara is a PhD candidate at Dementia Research Centre. Her research topic focuses on functional dynamics of tropomyosin isoforms and actin at the post-synapse. Her interest in Neuroscience started early during her undergraduate studies which led her to research training at the Institute für Neuroanatomie, RWTH University, Aachen, Germany in 2013. This research was incorporated into her MSc thesis: “The influence of pro-inflammatory factors on the expression of ENTPD2 in mouse oligodendrocytes”. She graduated with a Master’s degree from the Department of Molecular Biology and Physiology, University of Belgrade, Serbia in 2015. That same year she has been awarded Marie-Skłodowska Curie fellowship within Neptune ITN to gain multidisciplinary experience in evo-devo and neurobiology of marine animals at SARS Centre, University of Bergen, Norway. What brought her to Dementia Research Centre is a keen enthusiasm towards the function and development of the brain, as well as their disruption in disease.
