Dr. Gordan Vujanic is Senior Attending Physician in Pediatric Pathology. He joined Sidra in 2017, and he (together with his team) responsible for delivering pediatric pathology services. I am working on preparation of Sidra joining the international study on renal tumors of childhood.  

Prior to joining Sidra, Dr. Vujanic worked as Professor of Pediatric Pathology and consultant pediatric pathologist at University Hospital of Wales / Cardiff University Medical School, Cardiff, U.K. where he established and developed pediatric pathology services for Wales. Dr. Vujanic moved to the UK from Belgrade (Serbia), where he finished his training in pathology and PhD.

He introduced and is providing rapid central pathology review for the UK and another 20 countries, which enables children to be treated accurately, avoiding under- or over treatment as it was the case in the past. He is responsible for coordinating work of another 9 national/regional pathology panels around the world and is the principal author of the classification of renal tumors of childhood which has been followed for treatment stratification in the last 20 years in the SIOP trials and studies.
