Manuela Panic graduated from the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb, Croatia, where she obtained title Master of Bioprocess Engineering, in 2016. In 2017, she enrolled for PhD in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering, at the same Faculty. Currently, she is a Research Assistant in the Laboratory for Cell Technology, Application and Biotransformations at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb. Her research activities are related to extraction of phenolic compounds from food industry by-products, biocatalysts with enzymes and microbes and in vitro cytotoxicity in animal cell cultures. She had participated in the Croatian Science Foundation project “Green solvents for green technologies” in which she prepared natural ILs and DESs, extracted, identified and quantified phenolic compounds from grape pomace, estimated behavior of Candida antarctica lipase B and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in natural DESs and evaluated biological activities of grape pomace extracts in human tumor cell lines.
