I am a PhD student and medical doctor at the Center for Discoveries in Migraine (CDM), which I joined in January 2026. My research focuses on human provocation studies, in which I administer signaling molecules to participants under controlled clinical conditions to induce migraine attacks, allowing me to investigate the biological mechanisms that initiate and terminate migraine and to identify targets for new treatments.
I earned my medical degree from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Medicine, and before joining CDM I worked as a medical doctor at the University Clinical Centre of Serbia. My clinical background shapes my patient-centered approach to research, and I am especially motivated by the opportunity to translate experimental findings into better care for the millions affected by migraine worldwide.
