Petra Grbčić, mag. pharm. inv. is currently a PhD student at doctoral study ”Medicinal Chemistry” under supervision of associate professor Mirela Sedić and research assistant on "Bioprospecting of Adriatic sea" project at the University of Rijeka Department of Biotechnology (Laboratory for systems biomedicine and genomics, laboratory head: associate professor Sandra Kraljević Pavelić). Her skills in maintaining cell cultures, in vitro cell viability assays, detection of apoptosis, migration and invasion studies, cell motility and development of chemoresistant cell lines, as well as techniques for protein isolation, purification, quantification and detection of their expression by Western blot method, two dimensional electrophoresis (2DE)  and mass spectrometry analysis were developed by working on several different projects in the Laboratory for systems biomedicine and genomics at Department of Biotechnology. The area of scientific interest of P. Grbčić mostly includes sphingolipids in therapy and pathogenesis of cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal carcinoma), and sphingolipid involvement in chemoresistance development. She attended the 11^th International Central European Oncology Congress where she held an oral presentation entitled „Sphingosine kinase inhibition sensitizes hepatocellular carcinoma cells to chemotherapy“ in 2015. In 2016, she participated in the 14th Gordon Research Conference Glycolipid and Sphingolipid Homeostasis and Function in Health and Disease in Tuscany, Italy with a poster presentation entitled „Dual inhibition of sphingosine kinase 1⁄2 enhances antitumor activity of 5-fluoruracil in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro“. She was awarded the best oral presentation entitled “Acid ceramidase activity regulates the sensitivity of human colon cancer cells to oxaliplatin” on 13^th International Central European Oncology Congress in 2017. In addition, her experimental work was presented on 5 poster presentations on national and international congresses. She has authored 8 original scientific papers and 2 review papers in peer-reviewed journals that have been cited 100 times (h-index 5; i10-index 3).

She is a collaborator on the University of Rijeka research grant uniri-biomed-18-76 Molecular features associated with BRAFV600E-mutated versus wild type BRAF colorectal cancer and a research assistant on project: “Dissecting the mechanisms of therapy resistance in BRAF-mutant colon cancer using an integrated –omics approach” founded by Croatian Science Fundation.

She was recognized as the best young scientist in University of Rijeka for academic year 2017. and won a scholarship to attend BIOPROSP_19 conference in Tromso, Norway.  She has also attended „The InnoMol New Platforms for Molecular Solutions in Research and Development“ workshop on Ruđer Bošković institute, Zagreb and training on Olympus microscopes.
