Her doctoral thesis “The assesment of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of high-density lipoproteins and their associations with markers of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome” was defended at The Faculty of Pharmacy (University of Belgrade). Jelena is the first author of two and co-author of 10 manuscripts.
Nenad Jevtić
M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering – Biomedical Engineer, Manager of Process engineering
He completed his bachelor and master studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade. He defended master thesis “Testing of Stability of nano substances based on C60 molecule from subject Nanotechnologies”. This master thesis deals with the characteristics and properties of the hyperharmonized hydroxylated fullerenes water complex using the OMIS method and pH conductometer as well as real-time stability testing for 12 months and stability testing in accelerated testing for 4 months. The obtained results were processed by statistical methods in order to further improvement the characterization and production of nano substances.
Work experience gained working in TFT in the management of maintenance of process equipment and systems for the production of nano-cosmetic substances. Responsible for the implementation of Standards and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that are aligned with local requirements and directly responsible for the quality of production and final product. The project that currently based on the Construction of facility for production of sterile galenical preparations and cosmetic substance, solutions for the Conceptual design, development of qualification documents and URLs and participation in the selection of process equipment/systems. The fundamental determinant of his professional profile: good knowledge in nanotechnology, mechanical engineering, maintenance in a manufacturing facility and designer of process engineering.
