Full Professor , PhD in Physical Chemistry

Head of Physical Chemistry Department 

Academic coordinator for international exchange of students and staff

Research area: Physical Chemistry;  Stabilty of drugs, polymers, composites and inorganic carriers

Dijana Jelić works as full professor at Physical Chemistry Department at University of Banja Luka. Dr Jelić research interest is on drug delivery systems, their kinetics and decomposition mechanism. In recent years, as part of international collaboration with collegues from Serbia, USA and Japan she has been involved in the development of drug delivery systems with the focus on stabilty, solublity and bioavailability of drugs.  Dr Jelic is an author and co-author of numerous peer-rewieved scientific papers, coordinator for several national projects and member of international projects. She is dedicated and pays great attention to the involvement of students into scientific and research work, as well as their professional development.
