CV


Nevena Arsenović Ranin PhD holds an Full Professor position and presently Head of the Department for Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Belgrade –Faculty of Pharmacy. She works at the Belgrade University Faculty of Pharmacy where she graduated (1988), and received her master's (1992) and her doctoral degrees (2001). From 2012, she is Director of specialist academic studies (SAS) Biological Medicines.

At the Integrated academic studies, Professor Nevena Arsenović Ranin is involved in conducting theoretical classes within the subjects Immunology, and Immunology with Immunochemistry. She also participates in the realization of theoretical classes in Specialist academic studies Biological medicines and in Doctoral academic studies.

She was a mentor of two doctoral dissertations, twenty specialist theses and more than fifty graduate theses. She is the author of one textbook and one handbook in immunology/immunochemistry.

As part of scientific research activities in the field of immunology, which was funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, she participated in research focused on the synthesis and characterization of monoclonal antibodies, pathogenetic mechanisms and pharmacological modulation of pathogenesis and clinical severity of autoimmune diseases, neuroendocrine and immune system interactions, and immune responses to vaccines. To date, she has published 45 scientific papers in peer-reviewed, international journals.

Since 1990 she has been a member of the Immunological Society of Serbia (IsoS), and since 2011 she is a member of the Executive Board of ISoS.
