Dr Stanojevic's research focus is on epidemiology of respiratory diseases and application of novel statistical methods to improve interpretation of objectives measures of lung function. Close collaboration with clinicians and researchers specialising in cystic fibrosis have led to improvements in how data are analysed and interpreted to better understand how early lung disease in cystic fibrosis develops.
