Career Trajectory
Bio
I am a Board- certified neurologist specialized in Child Neurology. Born in Belgrade, Serbia, I earned my medical degree and started my PhD at the University of Belgrade, but due to the outbreak of war in then Yugoslavia, I immigrated to the United States and completed my PhD degree in biophysics and neurobiology at Stony Brook University. Following a brief but very productive postdoctoral fellowship at Cold Spring Harbor Labs (my work on activity-dependent brain plasticity was a runner up for the Best Publication of the Year in Science), I pursued residency in child neurology at Stony Brook Hospital. Shortly after, I received a prestigious Phillip R. Dodge Young Investigator Award from the Child Neurology Society and was subsequently recruited by Dr. Huda Zoghbi to Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute. Among my achievements, I particularly cherish the Neuroscience Brain Research Award from the McKnight Foundation, NASA/TRISH Human Tissue Avatars grant, and Best Doctors in America among others. I am an avid supporter of women in science, technology, engineering and math, and actively mentors young women across the globe as part of the New York Academy of Sciences (Next Global Scholars, 1000 Girls, 1000 Futures.
My research interest centers around adult neurogenesis, the generation of new neurons in our center of learning and memory that happens throughout our lifespan. The rate of neurogenesis can be affected by many factors, from metabolism to physical and social activity as well as mutations in certain genes that lead to intellectual disability. I focus on understanding the mechanisms of adult neurogenesis and the factors that affect it, using the tools of genetics, cell and molecular biology, metabolism, computational and systems neurobiology, and neuroimaging. We use human organoids, mouse models, and human research to develop new methods to study neurogenesis and discover new therapeutic targets. My ultimate goal is to develop regenerative therapies, i.e., to stimulate birth and survival of new neurons in a targeted and controlled manner to enable safe treatment of a variety of disorders that affect memory and mood.
