Professional Profile
Education
Dr. Stamate earned her Bachelor’s degree in Medicine from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy at “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galați. Her academic training provided a solid foundation in general medicine and clinical sciences, which she has since built upon through advanced research in cardiology, physiology, and multidisciplinary approaches to complex cardiac conditions. As a PhD student, she continues to deepen her expertise, focusing on predictive modeling, cardiovascular pathophysiology, and AI-assisted diagnostics.
Experience
Professionally, Dr. Stamate has held dual roles that complement each other—Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Morphological and Functional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galați, and Cardiology Resident Doctor at University Emergency Hospital Bucharest. In her academic role, she is dedicated to teaching cardiology and physiology to medical students, coordinating scientific research activities, and mentoring future physicians. In the clinical setting, she provides specialized care for patients with acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases, often managing complex and high-risk cases. Her experience spans both hospital-based interventions and academic research, enabling her to integrate evidence-based medicine into real-world practice.
Research Interest
Dr. Stamate’s research interests lie at the intersection of cardiology, artificial intelligence, and predictive modeling. She has extensively studied cardiogenic shock in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, focusing on early detection and risk stratification using AI-based predictive models. Her work also explores big data applications in cardiology, personalized treatment approaches, and the role of multidisciplinary collaboration in managing complex cardiac cases. Additionally, she has contributed to research on infective endocarditis, myocardial infarction, intracardiac hemodynamics, and AI applications in forensic medicine, reflecting her versatility and interdisciplinary mindset.
Awards and Recognition
Dr. Stamate has been honored for her academic and research excellence at multiple scientific conferences. She has received awards for best presentations, including first prize at the Galmed Congress for her case-based study on myocardial infarction, as well as recognition for her contributions to doctoral research conferences. Her publications in high-impact, Q1-ranked journals such as Journal of Clinical Medicine, Diagnostics, and Antibiotics further underscore her influence in the field. She has been invited as a lecturer at numerous cardiology conferences and interdisciplinary medical events, sharing her expertise on topics ranging from anticoagulation in pregnancy to updates in cardiogenic shock management.
