Boban D. Andjelković

Boban D. Andjelković serves as a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade. His career progression since 2012 includes roles as Professional Associate, Independent Technical Assistant, and Research Associate before his 2022 promotion. His research integrates advanced analytical instrumentation with metabolomics to address biomedical, environmental, and food science challenges.

His educational credentials include:

• Master of Academic Studies in Biological Sciences (2009), University of Belgrade - Faculty of Biology
• Undergraduate Studies in Biological Sciences (2009), University of Belgrade - Faculty of Biology
• Doctorate in Chemical Sciences (2017), University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry

Dr. Andjelković specializes in metabolomics and instrumental analysis (UV, IR, NMR, GC, HPLC, MS) for studying plant/animal secondary metabolites. His work spans biomedical diagnostics (nerve agent detection), environmental toxicology (microplastics), and food chemistry (propolis analysis), developing novel analytical protocols for complex biological matrices.

His publication record (2013-2024) reveals consistent focus on natural products chemistry and metabolomics. Key trends include NMR/MS-based biomarker discovery for diseases, analysis of medicinal plants, and detection of environmental pollutants. His interdisciplinary approach bridges analytical chemistry with clinical and environmental applications.

His scientific contributions are recognized through:

• 2015 OPCW Internship-Support Programme Scholarship for NMR biomedical analysis
• 2017 Best Poster at European Phytochemical Society (top 4 of 250+)
• 2018 Serbian Chemical Society Medal for instrumental metabolomics research
• 2020 EuChemS Young Investigators Workshop selection
• 2023 National Museum of Serbia Certificate of Appreciation

He leads multiple international projects funded by OPCW and the European Commission:

• IMPTOX (2021-2025): Micro/nano plastics and pollutant effects on allergy risk
• OPCW projects: Metabolomics for schizophrenia/bipolar biomarkers and verification methods
• Twinning projects with VERIFIN for chemical weapons verification

As part of the Center for Instrumental Analysis (CIA), he collaborates with OPCW and EuChemS on global chemical security initiatives, directing instrument management as Deputy Commission Member since 2022.
