Nina VardjanNina Vardjan, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biochemistry is Coordinating Director of the Neuroglia Projects, part of the National Programme of Cell Physiology (jointly carried out by the Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology-Molecular Cell Physiology at Istitute of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, and the Cell Engineering Laboratory at Celica Biomedical, Tech Park Ljubljana, Slovenia). Her fields of study include Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Cell Physiology, Neuroendocrinology and Biophysics. She obtained her B.Sc. in Microbiology at the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia in 1999. In 2003 she received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Post-graduate Study of Biomedicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. During her Ph.D. she held the position of a Young Researcher and from 2003 to 2004 she was Associate Research Scientist at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia. In 2002, she obtained a FEBS Fellowship for training in neuromuscular junction physiology at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. Since 2004, she holds a Research Scientist position at the Celica Biomedical and the Faculty of Medicine, Ljubljana, Slovenia. From 2006, she is involved in teaching (General Physiology, Cell Physiology, Molecular Physiology, Cell Engineering) at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology and Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. She co-edited a special volume of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences "Mechanisms of Exocytosis" and co-organized the international meetings ISN Satellite Meeting: Glial Cells in (Patho)physiology (2011), FEPS 2009 (2009), and Mechanism(s) of Exocytosis (2008) and 15th Young Neuroscientists Meeting (2008).
