• Biodegradable polymers and bioactive materials
• Stimuli-responsive 'intelligent' systems (pH/temperature-sensitive hydrogels)
• Nanohybrid biomaterials for controlled drug delivery
• Antimicrobial polymeric biomaterials
• Biocompatibility and hemocompatibility studies

Professor Tomić leads significant research initiatives:

• Managed Projects:
  • Intelligent Scaffolds for Advanced Tissue Regeneration (SCOPES-Swiss NSF, 2014-2017)
• Participated Projects:
  • Radiation Synthesis of Nanomaterials (IAEA RER/8/014)
  • Radiolytically Synthesized Hybrid Nanosystems (IAEA F23028)
  • 8 additional MNTR-funded projects on polymer synthesis, biomaterials, and nanocomposites

She has supervised 4 doctoral candidates, 12 master's students, and over 50 undergraduate researchers in biomaterials science.
