Funding Information: Dr Tijana Miti{\'c} obtained her PhD at the Endocrinology Unit of the University of Edinburgh in 2010, followed by a short postdoc immediately afterwards. Following a successful postdoc at the Bristol Heart Institute (2011–2014), Tijana took a break from academia for family reasons. In 2016 Tijana obtained a highly competitive part-time fellowship from the British Heart Foundation, to restart her academic research at the University of Edinburgh, deciphering the epigenetic changes in cardiovascular diseases. In 2019, Tijana was also awarded a Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy for teaching efforts. Her research team investigated the epigenetic changes in hypoxia and role of long non-coding RNAs during vascular injury, at the Centre for Cardiovascular Science at the University of Edinburgh. In 2022 Tijana was awarded a BHF Transitional Fellowship to continue her work on the lncRNA regulation of endothelial cell function. Her team is exploring enhancer-specific lncRNA-actions of relevance for cardiometabolic diseases. Tijana is a Journal of Molecular Endocrinology Senior Editor and a 2020 Society for Endocrinology Leadership and Development Awardee.
