I'm a PhD candidate in Informatics in Biology and Medicine, at Donald Bren School of ICS, University of California, Irvine. This is my third year at UCI.
I am working with Prof. Natasa Przulj. My research involves application of graph theoretic, statistical, and machine learning methods to analyze and model biological networks, with particular focus on protein-protein interaction networks and metabolic networks. Analyzing structural properties of cellular networks is important because it may provide useful clues about biological function, desease, and evolution. To find more about my research, go to "Publications".
I received Opportunity award from Center for Complex Biological Systems, UCI, 2008, for the following project: V. Memisevic, A. Ganesan, and N. Przulj - Utilizing Systems-Level PPI Network Analysis to Visualize the Spatial Dynamics That Control Melanin Pigmentation in Human Cells.
Also, I am a winner of McGaugh Hall Display Case Design Challenge, Center for Complex Biological Systems, UCI, 2008.
Previously, I received B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2005. I worked as a system analyst and software developer at the insurance company Sarajevo Osiguranje d.d., designing, implementing, and testing Life Insurance software and applications for Car Insurance Claims report system.
