Tamara R. Todorovic

Tamara R. Todorović is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, with a focus on bioinorganic and coordination chemistry. Her research spans synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of metal complexes for therapeutic applications.

• Current academic rank: Full Professor
• Department: General and Inorganic Chemistry
• Research grants: EXPAND-EV (2025-2028, Horizon EU), SYMBIOSIS (2020, Science Fund Serbia), and several international collaborations.

Research interests include:

• Coordination chemistry of transition metals
• Single crystal X-ray analysis
• Drug discovery using metal complexes
• Structure-activity relationships of pro-apoptotic agents
• Multi-targeting therapeutic agents
• Enzyme immobilization via coordination networks

Trends in recent publications: Her work emphasizes metal complexes (Cu, Pd, Zn, Pt, Cd) with heteroaromatic ligands, exploring their cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Structural analysis via X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations are central to understanding structure-activity relationships.

Scientific merits:

• Max Planck Society Fellowship (2011)
• "Dr Dubravko Rodić" Award (2016)

Professional roles:

• Member, Serbian Chemical Society (2003-present)
• President, Serbian Crystallographic Society (2021)
• Member, Royal Society of Chemistry (2012)
