Prof. Blagoi Marinov, MD, PhD graduated from the Medical University of Plovdiv in 1995.
He worked as a resuscitator in the emergency medical care system. In 4 years he managed to finish his PhD in the field of exercise pathophysiology and acquired his first specialty - pathophysiology. In 2009 he was habilitated as an Associate Professor at the Medical University of Plovdiv and started the first lectures in English for medical students and pharmacists.
In 2011, as President of the Youth Scientific Association Asclepius, he reinstated its activities and organized the annual conferences "Science and Youth" on a national basis.
In 2013 he also acquired a clinical specialty in pneumology and phthisiatrics. He successfully brought to the defense two PhD students - from the Department of Special Surgery and from the Department of Pediatrics. He serves his third term in the executive board of the Bulgarian Respiratory Society.
Since the creation of the Medical Simulation Training Center in 2015, he has been its director and founder of the first ever International Simulation Training Conference in medicine. In 2016 he habilitated as a professor and combined his teaching activity in pathophysiology in Bulgarian and English with the development of innovative training strategies at MSTC. As a result of his research, more than 80 articles have been published in peer-reviewed journals, he also had over 500 unique citations, h-index = 16.
He is a member of the Bulgarian Medical Association, Bulgarian Society of Physiological Sciences, Bulgarian Respiratory Society, American Thoracic Society, European Respiratory Society.
