• Academic Background: Medical Faculty of the University of Belgrade (MD, 1976), PostDoc in applied physiology (1980)
• Teaching: Former Sports Physiology instructor at Zurich's School of Physiotherapy

Research Interests center on cardiovascular epidemiology, including:

• Acute Myocardial Infarction (STEMI/NSTEMI)
• Sex-specific cardiovascular risk prediction models (e.g., SEX-SHOCK score)
• Public health implications of comorbidities (COPD, diabetes, immunocompromised states)
• Post-AMI lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy adherence
• Global health applications in low-resource settings (Rwanda blood pressure screening)

Publication Trends show a focus on:

• Longitudinal AMIS Plus registry analyses (2000–2025)
• Sex-based disparities in cardiovascular care
• Interdisciplinary links between sports medicine and chronic disease
• Methodological innovations in epidemiological modeling
• Health policy applications of registry data
