Investigations of dr Vladimir Ajdžanović, Principal Research Fellow, are positioned within three coordinates: the phenomenology of aging, the exploitation of experimental rat models of both sexes, and the applied synthetic steroids or natural polyphenols as potential therapeutics of various aging symptoms. The extent from cell morphophysiology to the level of the endocrine system defines the context of elaboration of treatment-induced effects. Specifically, the pituitary-adrenocortical axis and the prostate of aging male, upon application of bioactives of plant origin, are the focus of his scientific interest. Dr Ajdžanović dominantly implements a structural approach, which implies the use of modern analytical and quantitative histological, as well as microscopic anatomical methods in the work. Additionaly, innovative, sound and argumented viewpoints characterize his theoretical contributions to the field of biomedical sciences. Finally, the creative mission of dr Vladimir Ajdžanović includes efforts to bring science and philosophy closer together, while he pays special attention to cultivating the language of philosophy in scientific writing.

In the Kantian manner, dr Ajdžanović spent his entire research career at the Department of Cytology, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” – National Institute of Republic of Serbia (IBISS), University of Belgrade. He is the author or co-author of over 80 scientific papers published in international peer-reviewed journals. Dr Vladimir Ajdžanović is a member of Serbian Society for Mitochondrial and Free Radical Physiology, Serbian Physiological Society and Serbian Medical Society.
