Short biography of member:

Dragan M. Djuric (born in 1961 in Krusevac town, central part of Serbia), received his MD in 1987, MS in 1991 and PhD degree in 1993 from the Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade. Academic positions: research assistant (1989-1991), assistant (1991-1994), assistant professor (1994-1999), associate professor (1999-2008), full professor of medical physiology at the Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade. Postdoctoral training obtained in Germany (Max Planck Institute for Physiological and Clinical Research - Kerckhoff Heart Centre, Bad Nauheim, 1998, 2001-2002), and USA (College of Medicine, University of South Alabama, Mobile, 2000). From 1997-2000 he was head at the Centre for Atherosclerosis and Vascular Biology in the Dedinje Cardiovascular Institute, Belgrade. In period 2006-2009 he was a director, than in period 2009-2012 he was a chair of the Institute of Medical Physiology “Richard Burian” at the Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade. He initiated and co-founded PhD program in physiological sciences (2009), and from that time he is a chairman of that program at the Belgrade University Faculty of Medicine. He initiated and co-founded the establishment of the Yugoslav Atherosclerosis Society in 1998, then he was a first secretary general (1998-2002). He was a president of the executive committee and assembly of the Serbian Physiological Society (2006-2013), president of the program and nominating committee of the Serbian Physiological Society (2013-2017), and president of the assembly of the Serbian Physiological Society (2018-2021). Dr. Djuric also had a lot of international responsibilities: 2000-present, Council Member, International Atherosclerosis Society; 2003-2013 Council Member, Federation of European Physiological Societies (FEPS); 2005-2009 Council Member, International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS); 2006-2014 Council Member, International Society for Pathophysiology; 2011-present, Member, Steering Committee, Global Network for Global Fight against Cardiovascular Diseases, International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences IACS).

He also organized/co-organized 3 congresses of physiological sciences (2005, 2009 and 2014, respectively) as well as 7 conferences and meetings of physiological sciences with international participation in Serbia including joint Serbian-Slovak and Serbian-Hungarian bilateral physiological meetings (2003, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, respectively). He was also organizer of the jubilee symposium on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Institute of Medical Physiology “Richard Burian“at Belgrade University Faculty of Medicine (2011). He organized the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the installation of a memorial plaque in the lobby of Institute of Medical Physiology, Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade, in honour and memory to Scottish doctor Elsie Maud Inglis, which was a heroin in the First World War and leader of the famous military unit entitled “Scottish Women's Hospitals”) (2009). He serves as a member of the International Lipid Expert Panel (ILEP) and Lipid and Blood Pressure Meta-Analysis Collaboration (LBPMC) Group. He also served as a member of Homocysteine Expert Panel in Germany, and was a member of the scientific/organizing committee at the global international conference entitled “Advances and Controversies in B-Vitamins and Choline” (Leipzig 2012). Two times he served as a co-chair of the sessions at congresses of of the Federation of European Physiological Societies (FEPS) (Bratislava 2007, Budapest 2014); at FEPS congresses (Bratislava 2007, Budapest 2014) he organized thematic symposia on endothelial pathophysiology, risk factors and vasculoprotective strategy and nutrition. and also co-organized the symposium on nutrition and cardiovascular health (Budapest 2014). He held a few international grants and contracts (Kerckhoff Klinik GmbH-Bad Nauheim/Germany, Solvay Pharma-Hannover/Germany, and Pfizer GmbH-Belgrade/Serbia). He is principal investigator in national-funded grants (since 2005), and now he participates as a member of the managing committee in COST action [CA16225 RS] “Realising the therapeutic potential of novel cardioprotective therapies (EUCARDIOPROTECTION)”.
