I am a senior pulmonologist at the “Marius Nasta” Institute of Pneumology in Bucharest, a national reference center for respiratory diseases in Romania. I have been teaching at ”Titu Maiorescu” University in Bucharest since 2014, and I currently hold the position of Associate Professor of Pulmonology. I have been a member of the Romanian Society of Pneumology since 2002, as well as the European Respiratory Society, American Thoracic Society, and I am a Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians. Tuberculosis remains a central focus of my research activity, alongside growing interests in COPD, PTLD and asthma management and pulmonary rehabilitation. I have authored 37 published papers, reflecting a consistent commitment to scientific contribution across my areas of expertise. My academic activity also includes serving as a peer reviewer for more than 35 medical manuscripts. I served as a Guest Associate Editor for the Frontiers in Respiratory Medicine Research Topic entitled “Bridging Respiratory Health and Systemic Disease through Environmental and Infectious Interactions.” In this editorial capacity, I handled 19 manuscripts, overseeing their evaluation throughout the peer-review process.
