Background

Desa Lilic and Mario Abinun qualified as medical doctors at Belgrade and Sarajevo University respectively (former Yugoslavia). Prior to moving to the UK in 1992, Desa Lilic worked at the Military Medical Academy (MMA) where she specialised in Clinical Immunology and conducted research under the guidance of Col Dr Aleksandar Dujic. Mario Abinun specialised as a pediatrician at the Institute of Mother and Child Health Care under Dr Mirko Mikuska.

 

From the very beginning, both Desa Lilic and Mario Abinun focused their clinical and research interests on immunology and were active participants of the then (and now) prestigious Yugoslav Immunology Society led by Professors Mirko Simic and Prof Mija Lukic and were founding members of the newly formed European Society for Immune Deficiency (ESID) which is now internationally renowned.

 

Prior to moving to the UK, Mario Abinun and his team conducted the first bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in a child with primary immune deficiency (PID) where the bone marrow was prepared by Desa Lilic and her team at the MMA. In 1992, they were invited by Professor Roland Levinsky to come to Newcastle, Mario Abinun to the newly set up NHS pediatric BMT Unit with Professor Andrew Cant, while Desa Lilic set up her research at Newcastle University with the help pf Dr Gavin Spickett and Professor Jane Calvert. Desa Llilic also set up and headed Clinical Immunology Diagnostic Laboratories at the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough and University Hospital of North Durham and set up specialised Candidiasis clinics at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle for patients with Chronic Candidiasis which were the focus of her academic research. In addition to significant achievements in the treatment and diagnosis of PIDs. Mario Abinun set up BMT in children with juvenile arthritis and other systemic autoimmune diseases.

Given their careers, commitments and enduring passion to understand immune mechanisms in clinical practice and PIDs, Desa Lilic and Mario Abinun were keen to contribute and support further advancement of all aspects of Clinical Immunology in Serbia where they trained and initiated their interests in this exciting field.
