2006-2011 as a co-investigator on scientific project entitled “Diving with compressed air and cardiovascular system” with a financial value of 90 000 kn/year. The project is headed by dr. Zeljko Dujic, and it involved a group of 6 co-workers. The project is a part of a 5-year program with a total value of 450 000 kn and role of which is to determine the influence of a single and multiple field dives on pulmonary pressure, endothelial and heart function. The work on the project already resulted in a number of publications that explained various aspects of field dives on cardiopulmonary function.
2006-2011 as a co-investigator on scientific project entitled “Breath hold diving and cardiovascular system” with a financial value of 80 000 kn/year. The project is headed by dr. Zoran Valic, and it involved the group of 5 co-workers. The project is a part of a 5-year program with a total value of 400 000 kn and role of which is to elucidate the mechanisms of rapid splenic contraction in response to breath holds, hematological and cardiopulmonary changes evoked by breath holds as well as autonomic and brain blood flow adaptations in elite apnea divers. The project resulted in a number of publications to a leading physiology journals.
2008-2010 as a co-investigator on scientific project entitled “Physiology of SCUBA diving, crossing borders grant (1B)” with a financial 555 000 kn/year. The project is headed by dr. Zeljko Dujic and involved a group of 4 co-workers. The project is a part of a 2-year program with a total value of 1110 000 kn and role of which is to understand all the mechanisms that influence the risk of decompression sickness.
