Rada M. Baošić is a Full Professor in the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, where she has served since 1992, progressing from Expert associate to her current rank achieved in 2022. She concurrently holds leadership roles including Vice Dean of Academic Affairs (2020-2023) and active participation in the Serbian Chemical Society as former Vice President (2016-2021) and Secretary (2008-2016). Her academic credentials include: Undergraduate studies in Chemistry at University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (1985-1992) Master of Science in Chemistry at University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (1992-1997) PhD in Chemistry at University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (1997-2004) Her research centers on advanced analytical methodologies with emphasis on planar chromatography mechanisms, retention-structure-activity relationships, and electrochemical behavior of biologically active compounds. She pioneers sensor and biosensor development for pharmaceutical and environmental applications, particularly focusing on antioxidant activity assessment and chromatographic separation optimization. Her work bridges theoretical modeling with practical analytical solutions across diverse matrices. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2013-2020) reveals consistent focus on electrochemical detection systems for pharmaceuticals, chromatographic behavior of metal complexes, and applications in food/environmental analysis. Key trends include sensor development for heavy metals and drugs, TLC retention modeling of Schiff bases, and cultural heritage analysis using mass spectrometry, demonstrating interdisciplinary impact from drug design to ecological monitoring. No scientific awards were documented in the source material. She mentors graduate students in analytical chemistry while leading national research projects funded by Serbia's Ministry of Science (projects 172002 and 172017). Her administrative duties include committee leadership for academic quality improvement, MSc/PhD studies, and publishing center oversight. She teaches core courses including Analytical Chemistry 2, Selected Methods of Instrumental Analysis, and Modern Instrumental Methods. She directs the Research group for Development and Application of Analytical Sensors and Investigation of Biologically Active Compounds, driving innovation in electrochemical biosensors and chromatographic techniques for complex biological and environmental samples.
