Prof.Asoc.Dr. Blerina Vrenozi

Blerina Vrenozi është Pedagoge pranë Fakultetit të Shkencave të Natyrës prej vitit 2007, dhe gëzon titullin akademik “Profesore e Asociuar” në Biologji (Zoologji-Ekologji-Sjellje). Studimi i saj i Doktoraturës ka qenë në fushën e Ruajtjes së Mjedisit pranë FSHN-së, realizuar me modelin sandwich pranë Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum, Frankfurt/M – GERMANY, me anë të dy bursave të DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst). B. Vrenozi ka realizuar nje studim Postdoktorature në Ekologjinë e Sjelljes dhe Evolutive pranë Universitetit të Aarhusit, Danimarkë me temë “The effect of sexual selection on male mating strategies” financuar nga Erasmus Mundus, JoinEUSEE>PENTA. Se fundmi ka realizuar nje studim shkencor mbi vejushat e zeza te gjinise Steatoda dhe Latrodectus me teme “Widow Venoms: Performing Venom extractions, Assessing Venom composition and developing toxicity screening” ne Universitetin e Galway, Irlande, financuar nga European Venom Network.

Fusha e saj kërkimore është Studimi i Faunës, e fokusuar në Zoologji-Ekologji dhe përfshin: Taksonomi të gjallesave shtazore, Studimi i llojeve helmuese, Ekologji, Ekologji e Sjelljes dhe evolutive, Studime të kontrollit biologjik, Iknologji, Monitorime të Faunës si bioindikatorë të vlerësimit të mjedisit, Biologji e Ruajtjes.  Gjatë punës së saj kërkimore, Prof. Vrenozi ka zbuluar mbi 50 lloje të reja të merimangave për Shqipërinë (Arachnida: Araneae), dhe një lloj të ri dëmtuesi të mundshëm të vreshtave (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae). Puna e saj shkencore është vlerësuar me një nënlloj të ri future për shkencën emërtuar në nder të saj: Melanargia galathea vrenozina Aistleitner, 2017.

  • Mobilitet i Stafit për Kerkim Shkencor në kuadër të European Venom Network EUVEN COST ACTION CA19144 (01-30.09.2023). Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) “Widow Venoms: Performing Venom extractions, Assessing Venom composition and developing toxicity screening”. During the research work of this STSM, I performed the laboratory procedures for spider venom extraction using electrostimulation and venom gland removal. I performed Western blot/SDS page gels to check for venom variations at the inter and intraspecific levels; conducted comparative toxicity assessments using various in-vivo arthropod models, including the promising new model Galleria mellonella; learned how to infer LD50 and ED50 values from the toxicity assays we performed using Probit models on R; performed swabs and cultures of the bacterial flora present on the chelicerae (fangs) of spiders, which may inform us on the type of infections developed by spider envenoming victims at the bite site. The target species are the members of the comb-footed spider family Theridiidae, and more specifically members of the genus Steatoda (i.e. False widows) and the European Black widow Latrodectus tredecimguttatus. The Scientific Mission is held in the VenomLab of the University of Galway, IRELAND.

Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) “Spiders and Scorpions Venom: Experiments on the enzymatic activity, HPLC purification and SDS-PAGE profile”. During the research work of this STSM, I learned and performed new techniques and methods related to the venom composition, enzymatic activity and SDS-PAGE profile of several scorpions, and spiders of known or unknown venom profile. I performed the laboratory procedures for hundreds of scorpions venom extraction using electrostimulation, I performed enzymatic activity of scorpion and spider venom, I used the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to purify scorpion and spider venom, I used the SDS-PAGE to separate different venom components, I preserved the crude and purified venom for further studies. The Scientific Mission is held in the VenomLab of the University of Eskisehir Osmangazi , Turkey, directed by Assoc. Prof. Figen Caliskan, on behalf of the “European Venom Network”, EUVEN COST Action CA19144.
