Following her March 2024 pre-defense at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Sarajevo (UNSA), she is finalizing her dissertation. Her breakthrough research integrates a retrospective study from UNSA with prospective studies at IBU and Cinvestav-IPN (Mexico), evaluating synthesized allicin and acetic acid as alternatives against antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter from broiler meat. By utilizing the INFOGEST 2.0 simulated human digestion protocol, her work delivers a high-impact scientific novelty both globally and for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
