Биографија

М-р Софија Костандиновска е асистент на Институтот за биологија при Природно-математичкиот факултет во Скопје. Додипломските и постдипломските студии ги завршила на Универзитетот „Св. Кирил и Методиј“ во Скопје, а од 2024 година е запишана на трет циклус студии, насока: молекуларна биологија.

Нејзиниот научен интерес е насочен кон микробна екологија, применета микробиологија и микробна биотехнологија, со посебен акцент на изолација и карактеризација на почвени микроорганизми, определување на нивната антимикробна активност, способност за продукција на биосурфактанти, толеранција кон тешки метали и пробиотски потенцијал. Во фокусот на нејзината истражувачка работа се дистрибуција и екологија на микроорганизми од родот Bacillus и нивната потенцијална примена како извор на биоактивни соединенија.

Во рамки на наставно-образовната дејност учествува во реализација на практичната настава и лабораториски вежби по група предмети од областа на микробиологија и микробна биотехнологија. Автор и коавтор е на неколку научни трудови и активно учествува во реализација на научно-истражувачки проекти, научни собири и други активности.
