Dr. Srdanovic is originally from Montenegro, and has lived in New York since the age of twelve. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in biology and doing research at the Hospital for Special Surgery, she decided to pursue her interest in research even further by completing a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences. She has experience in topical and transdermal drug delivery/formulation development, as well as a clinical research in the realm of interventional cardiology. Having worked on numerous clinical trials in interventional cardiology, she gained a deeper understanding of the clinical implications of drug release kinetics from drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons, linking the knowledge in pharmaceutics to clinical outcomes.

She is passionate about learning and teaching and is very excited to be a member of TCOP's team as a research scientist.
