Jelena was born in Belgrade, Serbia. She finished her Bachelor studies in Molecular Biology and Physiology at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. She got her Master degree at the same faculty in the field of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology. During her master studies she got familiar with genetic engineering and how it can help us and the environment.
