Mihaela Liliana Mic

Mihaela Liliana Mic is a Researcher (CS III) at the National Research-Development Institute for Isotopic and Molecular Technologies in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Her work focuses on molecular and biomolecular systems, intermolecular interactions, and applications in pesticide detection, ion sensing, and drug delivery. She earned a Master's (2003) and PhD (2007) in Physics from Babeș-Bolyai University.

• Education: Master (2003) and PhD (2007) in Physics, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Her research spans:

• Development of homogenous immunoassay techniques (HnELISA) using functionalized nanoparticles for detecting 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in environmental and food samples.
• Characterization of intermolecular interactions via NMR, UV/Vis, fluorescence, and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
• Engineering molecular adaptors for ion sensing and separation using cyclodextrins, cyclic peptides, and protein pores.

She contributes to collaborative projects addressing surface science and molecular recognition, with affiliations to institutions like IFIN-HH and Alexandru Ioan Cuza University.
