CV


Sandra Cvijić (maiden: Grbić) graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University in Belgrade in 2003. She holds a PhD in Medical Sciences - Pharmacy (2011) and Specialization in Pharmaceutical Technology (2015).
She has been working at the University of Belgrade-Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Cosmetology from 2003, and currently holds a position of Associate Professor. She has been involved in the development and delivery of undergraduate courses in Pharmaceutical Technology 2, Pharmaceutical Technology 3, Industrial Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicines, Dosage Forms for Paediatric Population (integrated academic studies) and postgraduate courses (specialization and doctoral studies in Pharmaceutical Technology).

She was a visiting scientist at the Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany (2013); Heinrich-Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany (2014; DAAD scholarship); and Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania (2018). She is a member of the International Association for Pharmaceutical Technology (APV) and Pharmaceutical Association of Serbia (SFUS).

She currently participates in the FDA funded project grant No. 75F40120C00150, international UNGAP COST Action CA16205 and Serbia – China bilateral project (principal investigator). In the past, she participated in several national and international projects.

She has authored or co-authored more than 150 publications and presentations (2 book chapters, 38 papers in international scientific journals, 10 papers in national scientific journal, 94 poster presentations, 14 oral presentations), 3 webinars, 2 online courses/workshops, and 11 textbooks for undergraduate students (2 for theoretical, 9 for practical lessons). She has been a reviewer for a number of international and national scientific journals, and guest editor of the Pharmaceutics Special Issue on Dry Powders for Inhalation: Formulation Design and Quality Assessment.

Research interest: biopharmaceutical characterization of drug substances/drug products, modeling and simulation of drug absorption and disposition, bioperformance dissolution testing, in vitro-in vivo correlation, formulation and characterization of oral and inhalation drugs, dosage forms for pediatric population.
