Može li dodatak antioksidanasa da unapredi efekte standardne terapije u hroničnoj bubrežnoj bolesti?

Na Naučnom seminaru, dr Danijela Karanovic govoriće o rezultatima istraživanja u eksperimentalnom modelu fokalno segmentne glomeruloskleroze, hroničnog i progresivnog oboljenja bubrega.

Predavanje će predstaviti kako prirodni i sintetski antioksidansi, primenjeni uz losartan, mogu doprineti očuvanju strukture i funkcije bubrega i usporavanju napredovanja bolesti.

Hronični stres nije samo prateći faktor bolesti već biološki aktivan proces koji može dovesti do inflamacije uz promene u ćelijskom okruženju i doprinos razvoju i progresiji malignih bolesti.

Dr Sanja Vignjević Petrinović govorila je o temi „Hronični i : inflamacija kao karika koja povezuje“, u okviru segmenta Stres i fizičko zdravlje na Forumu Институт за ментално здравље, održanom 17. aprila u Muzeju Jugoslovenske kinoteke.

Tokom predavanja, posebno je istakla značaj inflamacije, kao jednog od ključnih bioloških mehanizama u okviru biopsihosocijalnog modela stresa, koji razmatra međusobno povezane biološke, psihološke i socijalne dimenzije, i ukazuje na potrebu za integrisanijim pristupom razumevanju povezanosti stresa i bolesti.

Chronic stress is not merely an accompanying factor in disease, but a biologically active process that, through prolonged dysregulation of neuroendocrine and immune responses, can lead to persistent inflammation, alter the cellular environment, and contribute to the development and progression of malignancies.

Dr. Sanja Vignjević Petrinović spoke on the topic “Chronic and : Inflammation as the Connecting Link” within the Stress and Physical Health segment of the Forum of the Institute of Mental Health, held on 17 April at the Yugoslav Film Archive Museum.

The lecture highlighted the importance of inflammation as a key biological mechanism within the biopsychosocial model of stress, which understands stress through interconnected biological, psychological, and social dimensions and points to the need for a more integrated approach to understanding and addressing the relationship between stress and disease.

Koliko smo daleko od efikasnijeg tretmana toksoplazmoze?

🧪 Novi Naučni seminar donosi uvid u dizajn, sintezu i in vitro evaluaciju N-(9-akridinil) derivata amino-kiselina kao potencijalnih agenasa protiv parazita Toxoplasma gondii 🦠 koji predstavlja ozbiljan rizik prvenstveno za imunokompromitovane pacijente i trudnice.

Predavanje će pokazati kako razlike u hemijskoj strukturi novih akridinskih derivata utiču na njihovu citotoksičnost i antiparazitsku aktivnost, uz poseban fokus na identifikaciju jedinjenja sa obećavajućim farmakološkim profilom.

🔜 Pridružite nam se ako vas zanima kako izgleda put od molekula do potencijalnog leka.

How far are we from a more effective treatment for toxoplasmosis?

🧪 The new Scientific Seminar offers insight into the design, synthesis, and in vitro evaluation of N-(9-acridinyl) amino acid derivatives as potential agents against Toxoplasma gondii 🦠, a parasite that poses a serious risk primarily to immunocompromised patients and pregnant women.

The talk will show how subtle differences in chemical structure shape cytotoxicity and antiparasitic activity, with a particular focus on identifying compounds with promising pharmacological profiles.

Dr Tijana Štajner je na panelu „Put žena u nauci: prepreke i motivacije“, održanom u Naučno-tehnološki park Beograd povodom Međunarodnog dana žena i devojaka u nauci, podelila lično iskustvo o izazovima sa kojima se susretala tokom karijere.

Prema njenim rečima, upornost, jasna profesionalna vizija i mogućnost šireg društvenog uticaja motivisali su je da nastavi stručni razvoj u presudnim trenucima karijere. Govoreći iz perspektive dugogodišnjeg rada u istraživačkom sistemu, dr Štajner je istakla važnost izgradnje kompetencija, snažnih mreža podrške i institucionalnih mehanizama koji ženama otvaraju put ka liderskim pozicijama u nauci.

U Institutu za medicinska istraživanja duboko verujemo da dugoročno ulaganje u znanje, jasno definisane profesionalne putanje i vidljivost osnažuje položaj žena u nauci i predstavlja ključan faktor dugoročne naučne relevantnosti sa realnim uticajem.

Dr. Tijana Štajner spoke at the panel “Women’s Path in Science: Barriers and Motivations,” held at the Naučno-tehnološki park Beograd, in celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. She reflected on the challenges she had encountered throughout her career.

She pointed out that perseverance, a clear professional vision, and a focus on broader societal impact were what tipped the scales at decisive moments in her career. Speaking from long-term experience in the research system, Dr. Štajner emphasized that progress does not happen by chance. Building solid competencies, relying on strong support networks, and having institutional mechanisms in place are what allow women to step into leadership roles in science.

At the Institute for Medical Research, we hold that sustained investment in knowledge, transparent career pathways, and professional visibility strengthens the position of women in science and remains essential for long-term scientific relevance with real impact.
