Milivoje Konstantinović is a molecular biologist and physiologist at the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” – National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, where he contributes to several research projects. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, in the “Molecular Biology and Physiology” module, and subsequently earned a master's degree in molecular biology and physiology at the same faculty, in the “Human Molecular Biology” module. He completed his master's thesis at the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”. For this work, he received the Goran Ljubijankić Foundation Award for the best master's thesis in molecular biology and the Ivan Đaja Foundation Award for the best master's thesis in physiology. He is currently a PhD student at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, enrolled in the “Molecular Biology” study programme and the “Molecular Biomedicine” module. His research primarily focuses on metabolic disorders, particularly the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of obesity and insulin resistance, as well as their systemic consequences. During his studies, he actively contributed to the promotion and popularisation of science through volunteer work, the organisation and delivery of public lectures and science workshops, and other activities designed to make science more accessible to the general public. Beyond science, he pursues a range of other interests: philosophy (especially epistemology and logic), debating, the visual arts (drawing and painting), writing, calligraphy, chess, sport shooting and collecting.
