Parasitic infections are more in tropical countries and cause global health problem especially in developing countries, Advanced diagnostics, tests, vaccines, therapeutics and development of new drugs are needed. Viviparity is common among est mammals but not many provide long gestation period, To study long term parasitic toxic effects, it is essential to use long gestation period laboratory animal models. Rats have 21 days, rabbits 30,dog 60 days of gestation period, The subtle effects of Thalidomide tragedy resulting in phocomalia, apoda etc in the offspring lead to untold miseries, Similarly good number of cases of fetal deaths, still births, teratogenices etc. Dr.Rao used scorpion as model in estimation of heavy metals like mercury and lead in embryonic development of scorpion and noticed similar effects, Indeed great challenges, given that most drugs in pipe line failed in clinical trails. Because most of the drugs tested on low gestation period animals, A new thought in the drug design for parasitic diseases by using scorpion as a model. Introducing parasite in scorpion and observing the drug effects and reversal effects, In addition to clinical work, developed a variety of basic and transnational research programs, participated to Ph.D. programs.

Dr. Dragan M. Nikolic has completed his Ph.D. in 2010 from Medical Faculty, University of Belgrade. He is Head of researches in the laboratory for pancreatic islets culture at the Institute for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, KCS, Serbia. 1998 – Magisterijum of Science degree of Immunobiology sciences, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Biology. He is the member of research projects related with isolation and transplatation of pancreatic islets. Member of EASD (European Association for the Study of Diabetes) in 2009 god. Member Organization Commity of Serbian Society for the Study of Diabetes since 2010. Member of Association of University Proffesors, Serbia, since 2012. Editorial board member and reviewer of many international scientific journals. After many years of research of pancreatic infection and influence of microbiological agens on insulin secretion of pancreatic islets, Dr. Nikolic has presented new data that could be important factors in pathogenesis of diabetes. It was established that certain bacteria and fungi could penetrate the pancreas thus directly influencing on insulin secretion, or indirectly, by secreting certain metabolites which via blood get into pancreas, leading to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance,and finally to diabetes. These findings will be important for the future prevention and monitoring of the patients with high risk for developing diabetes. Dr Nikolic he has published papers dealing with Diabetes, insulin secretion, transplantation, pancreatic islets culture and influence of microorganism on onset of the diabetes.

Diabetes, Transplantation, Pancreatic Islets Culture, Influence of Microorganism on onset of the Diabetes, Human Microbiome.

PhD in Molecular Biology and PhD Prize in Science at Autonomous University, Madrid. During her scientific career, she has studied the molecular biology of several respiratory viruses of clinical significance as Influenza virus, SARS-CoV and other coronaviruses. She has worked on virus reverse genetics, functional analysis of viral and cellular proteins, molecular diagnosis of virus in clinical samples and on animal models to study viral pathogenesis. Her current research line is focused not only on the virus, but on the infected patient, and the role the contribution of virulence determinants and the patient play in the progression of the infection. To carry out these studies, she has stayed in several national and international research Centers and has collaborated with international groups and Health Institutions (Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, USA; Center for Diseases Control, CDC, Atlanta, USA; Center for Arrhythmia Research, Michigan USA; Institute of Health Carlos III, Madrid, Severo Ochoa Hospital, Madrid, Research Foundation at General Hospital, Valencia, others).
