At the next Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine grand rounds, on Friday 14-March-2025, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., Sanja Stanojevic, PhD, will present a lecture titled “Race and Ethnic Specific Reference Equations for Lung Function: Why We Use Them, and Why We Shouldn’t".

Sanja Stanojevic, PhD, is an associate professor of Community Health and Epidemiology at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Canada.  She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Western Ontario, a master of science degree from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and her doctoral degree from the University College London.  Her research program focuses on challenging paradigms in respiratory medicine to develop evidence-based clinical tools to ensure patients receive accurate diagnoses and appropriate management of their disease.  Harnessing secondary data sources to identify innovative data-driven solutions to answer clinically relevant questions, her program of research investigates 1) methodologies to characterize the growth and development of the lungs across the life course, 2) data-driven approaches to improve interpretation of respiratory outcomes, and 3) the translation of novel outcomes to the bedside.
