Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aleksandra Klisic is a distinguished medical scientist and academic leader from Montenegro, currently serving as an Associate Professor at the University of Montenegro, Faculty of Medicine, Podgorica. She also holds prominent positions as Chief and Quality Manager at the Center for Laboratory Diagnostics, Primary Health Care Center in Podgorica. With a strong foundation in clinical biochemistry and laboratory medicine, she has made significant contributions to the fields of endocrinology, diabetes, oxidative stress, and metabolic disorders.Dr. Klisic’s academic journey began at the University of Belgrade, where she earned her Doctor’s degree, Master’s degree, and Board Certification in Clinical Biochemistry. Her post-graduate specialization in Laboratory Endocrinology further strengthened her expertise in diagnostic and biochemical sciences. She has undergone advanced international training in biosafety, biosecurity, and laboratory leadership under global health programs organized in collaboration with the World Health Organization.Her research focuses on understanding the molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, emphasizing oxidative stress, inflammation, and hormonal regulation. Through her multidisciplinary studies, she explores the complex interactions between biochemical pathways and disease development, contributing to evidence-based laboratory and clinical practices.Dr. Klisic’s publications are widely recognized in high-impact scientific journals, reflecting her dedication to advancing clinical and translational research. Her work includes groundbreaking studies such as Association of Low Free T3 with Disease Presence and Activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis, Relationship Between Oxidative Stress and Cardiovascular Risk in Adolescents in Montenegro, SGLT2 Inhibitors and Cardiac Fibrosis: A Comprehensive Review, Role of Interleukins in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, Oxidative Stress in Adolescents with Overweight/Obesity, and Association of Serum Selenium with Pro-atherogenic Adhesion Molecules, Inflammatory Cytokines and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome. Her book chapter Antioxidant Supplementation and Cardiometabolic Syndrome (Elsevier) demonstrates her scholarly contribution to understanding reactive oxygen species and their role in chronic diseases.
