On Friday, May 30, 2025, the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” celebrated its 78th anniversary.
Pavle Ćosić is a research trainee at the Department of Cytology of the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković" – National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, and a PhD student at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. His area of scientific interest includes the structure and function of the pituitary-adrenocortical system in a model of experimental androgen deprivation and estrogenization of male rats. The aforementioned rat model is being developed for the purpose of simulating various clinical practices, from prostate cancer therapy to sex reassignment. The effects of the treatment are evaluated from the cellular level to the level of the complete endocrine system, with emphasis on the morphophysiological changes of the pituitary and adrenal gland, as well as on the corticosteroid hormonal status. The methodological approach in Pavle Ćosić's research involves the use of modern tools and techniques in the field of qualitative (analytical) and quantitative histology (histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, light and fluorescence microscopy, stereological and biochemical analyses).

Animal physiology studies how biological processes work, how they operate under different environmental conditions, and how these processes are regulated and integrated. They can be studied at different levels of organisation, from organelles and cell membranes to cells, tissues, organ systems, and the whole animal, both during development and in adulthood.
Milica Vukojevic is a PhD student at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. Since February of 2025, she has been employed as a junior research trainee in the Department of Cytology, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” – National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade. Her scientific research work is focused on the biology of aging and redox biology. The subject of her research is the examination of the effects of polyphenols of natural origin on the prostate and other organ systems in a model of naturally aged male rats with emphasis on the analysis of antioxidant status, redox regulatory mechanisms, signaling mediated by hydrogen sulfide, persulfidation, and the phenomenon of senescence.

The biology of ageing is focused on better understanding the molecular, cellular and physiological processes underlying the ageing process and the diseases associated with this process.
Animal physiology studies how biological processes work, how they operate under different environmental conditions, and how these processes are regulated and integrated. They can be studied at different levels of organisation, from organelles and cell membranes to cells, tissues, organ systems, and the whole animal, both during development and in adulthood.
Nutrition is the process by which the body uses food to produce energy and sustain life. The science of nutrition studies the role of nutrients and other food components in the growth, reproduction, health and disease of the organism. Food ingredients with medicinal properties are called nutriceuticals and can be used to treat or prevent disease. There are more and more alternative sources of food, such as edible insects, which should limit the negative impact of food production on the environment.
Redox biology is the study of all aspects of biology mediated or influenced by biochemical processes involving reduction (gain of electrons) and oxidation (loss of electrons). Redox homeostasis is central to the basic functions of life, including metabolism and respiration, and when altered it can promote the progression of disease and ageing.
The First STRIMHealth Annual Meeting took place online on May 26, 2025, at the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”. The meeting was attended by IBISS participants and key representatives of our partner institutions.
