Born in Sarajevo (Bosnia Herzegovina), Dr. Radovanovic graduated from the University of Milan in 2011. He entered the fellowship in respiratory diseases in the same athenaeum under renowned Prof. Stefano Centanni and Prof. Francesco Blasi, mentored by Prof. Pierachille Santus. For the 2015/2016 year he was sent to Loyola University - Chicago for additional training as a research fellow, where he joined the lab of Prof. Franco Laghi and Prof. Martin J Tobin conducting research on respiratory muscles. Dr. Radovanovic was very productive since his medical school years, and during his fellowship has published more than 15 scientific papers on numerous aspects of pulmonary physiopathology and pharmacology. He is author and co-author of 4 book chapters and currently serves many peer-reviewed journals as a reviewer. He is currently completing his specialty training at University of Milan in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit of Fondazione Maugeri directed by Prof. Pierachille Santus, collaborating with eminent respiratory physiologists like Prof. Edgardo d’Angelo and Prof. Matteo Pecchiari of the Institute of Physiology of Milan and other national and international scientific centers. So far he served as lecturer at more than 15 national and international scientific meetings and actively contributes in training and teaching postgraduate students of medicine and physiotherapy.
Among his many interests, he enjoys books on history, mathematics and biology and loves travelling.
Research Interest
The main research interests are based on: pulmonary clinical pharmacology (pharmacodynamics of bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids in COPD and asthma); pathophysiology of small airways and diffusing capacity in COPD, asthma and bronchiectasis; lung mechanics (assessment of Closing Volume and Closing Capacity in COPD and healthy subjects); respiratory muscles (neuro-mechanical coupling of the diaphragm and expiratory muscles); pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD; mechanical ventilation (effect of positive end expiratory pressure on lung mechanics and respiratory muscles).
