Belgrade, Serbia
I'm a 5th-year medical student at the University of Belgrade, School of Medicine, with a strong interest in Obstetrics and Gynecology. My goal is to specialize in Ob/Gyn and pursue a PhD, focusing on genetics, fetal reprogramming, and perinatology. I’m especially fascinated by how early-life factors shape long-term health outcomes and how we can use that knowledge to improve maternal and fetal care. Beyond my studies, I have hands-on experience in medical research, including multiple projects and internships, notably the AMGEN internship. These experiences have deepened my interest in academic medicine and translational research.
