Sandra Mihaljevic

I've contributed to translational neuroscience programmes at Barrow Neurological Institute and St. Joseph's Hospital, integrating preclinical models, clinical data, neuroimaging, biofluid biomarkers, and multi-omics approaches in acute brain injury research.

My work spans traumatic brain injury, neuroimmunology, neurodegeneration, brain-barrier biology, and multiple sclerosis biomarkers. I've developed primary-cell barrier models, supported clinical research and GCP-compliant documentation, and contributed to single-cell traumatic brain injury research published in Neuron.

I'm now teaching medical chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Split School of Medicine while contributing to a longitudinal multiple sclerosis biomarker study. I bring rigorous scientific evaluation, clear writing, peer-review experience, and a collaborative approach to complex biomedical questions.
