A bit about me

CURRICULUM VITAE

I studied Medicine, specialized in Dermatology and obtained a PhD in Molecular Medicine
at the University of Turin, Italy.

During my residency I worked for two years at the Department of Dermatology –
University of San Francisco, California (US)
.

I always worked both as a clinician and as a researcher, and I was honored to received
the L’Oreal-Unesco Price for Women in Science – a highly competitive prize supporting
women in science – for my research in melanoma.

In 2016 I moved to Vienna and joined the group of Prof. Maria Sibilia at the Institute of
Cancer Research (Medical University of Vienna). My worked focused on developing new
treatment options for patients affected by melanoma.

I am married with a Austrian-Croatian dermatologist (Dr. Igor Vujic) and we have two
wonderful and very loud (!) kids.

I speak English, Italian, German and Serbo-Croatian and I will be happy to speak with every
patient in the language he/she feels more comfortable with.
