  • Rajko Igić (born 1937) is a Serbian doctor, scientist, and writer. He is best known for discovery of angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) in the retina, publications on the influence of the war in Yugoslavia on publishing in peer reviewed journals, poetry works, and his anti-tobacco movement in the Former Yugoslavia, Serbia, and Republic of Srpska. Igić is a member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Republic of Srpska. He received his M.D. at the University of Belgrade and Ph.D. at the University of Sarajevo. He was a Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Tuzla (1978-1992), and the Director of the Department of Scientific, Cultural, and Educational International Exchange for the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1990 to 1992, when he left at the start of the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His research career centered on the Renin–angiotensin system. While at the Universities of Tuzla and Banja Luka in the 1980s, Igić organized an early anti-smoking campaign aimed at the territories of former Yugoslavia. Igić served as the Editor-in-Chief of a Scripta Medica (Banja Luka), a medical journal, from 2010-2013. He also devised a new script, Slavica, a fused version of the (Cyrillic and Latin alphabet), used by speakers of the predominant South Slavic languages (Serbo-Croatian). It was a quixotic attempt to mend the linguistic divisions among the Yugoslav ethnic groups, prior to outbreak of widespread conflict. Igić writes poetry, and he published several poetry books in English and Serbian. He currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, where he was, until retirement, a senior scientist in the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Management at Cook County Hospital. (en)
