Human immunology: Innate and adaptive immune responses to latent viruses and to allo-antigens after organ transplantation
Dr. Miljkovic's research focuses on the epidemiology of obesity, ectopic fat deposition, body composition, and associated metabolic disorders. In particular, Dr. Miljkovic studies skeletal muscle, changes in skeletal muscle and whole body composition with aging, their determinants, and associated metabolic disorders, with a special focus on high-risk minority, international, and elderly populations.
Pelvic Floor Disorders, Prolapse Meshes; To date, Dr. Moalli’s research has mainly focused on 1) the development of novel biomaterials for use in pelvic reconstructive surgeries; 2) defining and reducing maternal birth injury; and 3) vaginal biofabrication.
