Dr. Marko Miler

Dr. Marko Miller is a senior research associate in the Department of Cytology at the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković", University of Belgrade. His research focuses on the biology of aging, redox biology, and animal physiology, with a particular interest in how natural compounds can contribute to tissue health during aging.

In particular, he examines the effects of natural polyphenols, especially citrus flavanones, on the processes that govern tissue homeostasis and healthy aging. His research focuses on redox regulation, H₂S signaling, and protein persulfidation — processes associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, senescence, and changes in tissue structure and function. He studies these mechanisms in various organs, including the liver, endocrine system, and prostate, using histological, histochemical, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and molecular biological methods.

As part of his professional training, he stayed at the Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften - ISAS in Dortmund, Germany, where he deepened his knowledge of redox biology and protein post-translational modifications. A more recent direction of his work focuses on experimental models of natural aging and their translational value in studying changes associated with aging, with an emphasis on persulfidation as a possible indicator of redox and functional status in tissues. He is currently participating in one national and one international research project.
