Anita Mesic is a researcher at the University of Antwerp, focusing on infectious diseases with a specialization in HIV, Tuberculosis (TB), and mycobacterial infections. Her work emphasizes epidemiological studies in resource-limited settings, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Afghanistan. She leads collaborative projects investigating TB co-infections, treatment regimens for drug-resistant TB, and long-term HIV outcomes in marginalized populations.

• Education: PhD in Infectious Diseases (2024)
• Projects:
  • Nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease management in Ghana (2022–present)
  • HIV virological outcomes in resource-limited settings (2021–2024)
• Research Interests: TB risk factors, mycobacterial coinfections, pediatric TB treatment efficacy, and public health strategies in conflict zones.

Her publications address topics like BMI-TB risk correlations, NTM disease challenges in high-burden regions, and short-course TB treatments for children. Collaborations span institutions in Ghana, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. Mesic’s work bridges clinical research and policy, aiming to improve healthcare access in vulnerable populations.
