Physicians and Their Literary Work

Mirela Radu graduated from the Faculty of Philology in 2004 and started her academic career as an assistant in 2007. As a culmination of her professional efforts, she graduated in 2011 with a Master’s Degree in “Models of Interpretation in the space of Romanian and world modernity”, with a thesis focused on “Romanian Avant-garde in a European context”. Following these studies, she crystallized an interdisciplinary approach to literature, a vision that would materialize during her doctoral studies at the University of Bucharest, with the paper “Doctors-writers in Romanian literature”, in which she corroborated the importance and impact of the medical studies of some personalities from Romanian culture and their literary works. Later, she was the beneficiary of the Postdoctoral Research Contract 236/22.04.2016 during the sustainability period of the project POSDRU/159/1.5/S/140106 with the work “The humanistic value of the medical school”–a corollary of the doctoral studies. In 2016 she became a lecturer and in 2024 an Associate Professor. She has published three monographs as sole author and over 70 articles.
