Her research focuses on data integration and the transformative potential of computational tools and artificial intelligence to advance drug development and routine drug therapy in infectious diseases including special populations such as children and pregnant women. Dr. Savic applies innovative, quantitative, and systems pharmacology methods to propose optimized and precision dosing strategies, data-driven risk stratification algorithms, and inspires new clinical simulation tools across the infectious disease landscape. Dr. Savic has unique expertise in data, modeling, and knowledge integration that positions her at the center of many development projects where she collaborates with teams across all drug discovery and development stages. She is currently a member of the TB Drug Accelerator, a chair of A5409 (an ACTG funded platform clinical trial for TB regimens), a member of UNITE4TB (EU-based TB clinical trial collaborative), a member of CDC-funded TB Trial Consortium, and the leader of the data science and clinical trial technical area in USAID’s funded SMART4TB initiative.
