I obtained MD and PhD degrees at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana and MSc degree at the KU Leuven, Belgium. Since 2014 I work as staff metabolic paediatrician at the UMC - University Children’s Hospital Ljubljana, Slovenia and from 2015 as an assistant professor of paediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. I am co-leading the Slovenian program of newborn screening (clinical part) and leading the national program of universal familial hypercholesterolaemia screening (which is performed nation-widely in 5-year old children), including the program of modern NGS diagnostics of primary dyslipidemias at the UMC Ljubljana. I am also coordinating the paediatric part of the Slovenian National registry of familial hypercholesterolemia and rare dyslipidemias, serving as a National co-lead at the EAS FHSC and EAS LCN. Currently I am a WHF Emerging Leader and a Fulbright Visiting Scholar (Assistant Professor) at Stanford University.
