Ivan Ivetac

Dr. Ivan Ivetac serves as a Research associate at the Ruđer Bošković Institute, specifically within the Center for Marine Research. His work spans interdisciplinary research areas including marine biology, molecular genetics, and cellular signaling pathways, with a focus on environmental contamination impacts and oncogenic mechanisms.

His research interests include:
- Molecular basis of environmental stress responses in aquatic organisms
- Role of phosphoinositide signaling in cancer and cellular transformation
- Development of genetic tools for studying marine organisms
- Biochemical mechanisms underlying chemotaxis and vascularization

Notable contributions include studies on DNA isolation techniques in microalgae, cellular alterations in mussels exposed to pollutants, and the role of Pik3ca mutations in tumorigenesis. His work bridges marine biology with oncology through molecular approaches.

Publications span both scientific research (e.g., cell signaling, cancer biology) and linguistics (Croatian phrasebook compilations for travel guides). No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts.

Labs/Teams: Active within multidisciplinary teams at the Ruđer Bošković Institute's Center for Marine Research, collaborating on projects involving marine genomics and environmental toxicology.
