Boryana Ruseva

Assoc. Prof. Boryana Ruseva, MD, PhD, serves as an Associate Professor at the Department of Physiology and Pathological Physiology within the Faculty of Medicine at Medical University Pleven, Bulgaria.

Her research expertise spans Physiology, Pathological Physiology, and Metabolic Disorders, with specialized focus on cardiovascular function, iron/selenium homeostasis, and bone metabolism. Key contributions include elucidating hepcidin's role in iron regulation, selenium's impact on vascular health in hypertension models, and biomarker validation for osteoporosis treatment monitoring. Her work bridges experimental physiology and clinical applications, particularly in aviation medicine and women's health.

Analysis of her recent publications (2016-2025) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) trace element interactions (selenium-iron-copper) in metabolic disorders, (2) cardiovascular adaptations in specialized populations (aviators, hypertensive models), and (3) bone metabolism biomarkers for osteoporosis management. Her methodology integrates clinical studies with experimental rat models, emphasizing translational applications in nutrition and endocrinology.
