Ivanovska is a professor at the Institute of Microbiology, Sofia, Bulgaria, where she leads the Department of Immunology. She has a great experience in the field of immunomodulation. Prof. Ivanovska has tested a lot of natural and synthetic compounds, defined their mechanisms of action and has carried out preclinical experiments in animal models of inflammation, fungal and bacterial infections, and autoimmune diseases. The main goal of her current experiments is to elucidate how inflammation impairs bone formation in concern to innate immunity cells at a molecular level and how it interferes with signalling pathways of bone formation. Another strand of her work characterises the anti-inflammatory action of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in models of sepsisand arthritis. N.
