Department of Chemistry

The Subdepartment of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry has developed a respectable teaching, scientific-research and professional activity to this day.

Since the establishment of the Subdepartment, exceptional attention has been paid to the experimental work of students in the laboratory, so that the experimental classes are held by all staff members of the Subdepartment.

The scientific work of the members of the Subdepartment of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry takes place mainly in the fields of chemistry of natural products and bioanalytical chemistry.

The members of the Subdepartment have published a large number of scientific and professional works in journals of international importance, and they have announced the results of their work at numerous international and domestic scientific meetings.

They published several textbooks and manuals, as well as monographs.

In the past period, the members of the Department were engaged in several fundamental, technological-strategic and innovation projects. Among the recently realized projects are the following projects:

  • Isolation, identification and antioxidant activity of biologically active compounds of Fraxinus L. species; (2021). Project leader: Prof. Ph.D. Amira Čopra-Janićijević. Participants: Dušan Čulum, Danijela Vidic, Lejla Klepo, Anela Topčagić
  • Adsorption and removal of organophosphate pesticide from water samples using phyllosilicate mineral (2021-2023). Project leader: prof. Ph.D. Leyla Klepo. Participants Anela Topčagić, Dušan Čulum, Jelena Ostojić, Sabina Žero, Amira Čopra-Janićijević
  • Fluorimetric and in silico studies of the interaction of albumin with synthetic coumarins (2021-2023). Project leader: Assoc. Ph.D. Anela Topčagić. Participants: Amira Čopra-Janićijević, Lejla Klepo, Muamer Dizdar
    The following table contains a list of projects in the period from 2018 to 2022: TABLE 1

In the previous period, the members of the Department achieved very intensive cooperation with the following institutions abroad:

  • University of Wuerzburg (Germany),
  • University of Zagreb (Croatia),
  • University of Split (Croatia),
  • University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) i
  • Karl-Franzens University of Graz (Austria).
