معرفی
Zelmina Lubovac is a Senior Lecturer in BioInformatics at the School of Bioscience, University of Skövde. She serves as both a Course Coordinator for multiple undergraduate and graduate courses in bioinformatics and a Programme Coordinator for Master's level programs. Her academic work focuses on the intersection of computational methods and biological applications, particularly in disease analysis and biomarker discovery.
Dr. Lubovac's research spans several key areas in bioinformatics and systems biology:
- Disease module identification in complex biological networks
- Multi-omics integration (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) for biomarker discovery
- Machine learning applications in RNA-seq and other high-throughput biological data
- Development of bioinformatics software tools for network analysis
- miRNA analysis in cancer and neurological disorders
Her recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate a strong focus on applying computational approaches to understand disease mechanisms, particularly in pancreatic cancer and multiple sclerosis. She has developed several widely-used bioinformatics tools including MODalyseR, MODifieR, and TFTenricher that facilitate disease module analysis and gene network interpretation. Her work often involves collaborative research with clinical teams to translate computational findings into potential diagnostic applications.
Dr. Lubovac has been involved in significant research projects including:
- BIO-AID (Biomedical AI-driven data analytics): Oct 2020 - Sep 2024
- Systems Biology DMDPipe: Mar 2018 - Feb 2021
She actively contributes to both undergraduate and graduate education at the University of Skövde, coordinating multiple courses and programs in bioinformatics and bioscience, with a clear emphasis on preparing students for careers at the intersection of biology and computational science.
