معرفی
Renata Kobetić is a Senior Research Associate at the Laboratory for Biomolecular Interactions and Spectroscopy within the Division of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Ruđer Bošković Institute. She holds a Ph.D. in Physical-Organic Chemistry (1993) from the University of Zagreb. Her research focuses on mass spectrometry, metal ion interactions, and biomolecular complexes, with notable contributions to the study of gelators, palladium complexes, and drug-delivery systems. She has received multiple awards, including Star Awards from Roche Diagnostics (2002) and grants from the European Science Foundation (1994) and Open Society Fund (1993).
Her work spans over three decades, with key topics including electrospray ionization (ESI-MS) analysis of metal-ligand interactions, self-assembly processes in organic materials, and applications in pharmaceutical chemistry. Recent studies involve chiral recognition in oxalamide gelators and glioblastoma analysis via mass spectrometry. She has mentored several graduate students, including Dario Dabić, Valentina Ključarić, and Irena Đapić.
