Dr. Marko Mladenović has been engaged in natural product chemistry research since 2011 as a member of Prof. Dr. Niko S. Radulović’s group at the University of Niš. Since 2024, he has served as a lecturer and researcher at the Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry, State University of Novi Pazar. His work focuses on the identification, isolation, synthesis, and spectral characterization of natural compounds, as well as the creation of combinatorial libraries of their homologs and synthetic analogs to explore their biological, pharmacological, and organoleptic properties. He has authored or co-authored 30 peer-reviewed papers in international journals and three in national journals, and has contributed to more than 60 presentations at scientific conferences. From December 2018 to May 2019, he completed his postdoctoral training at the Institut de Chimie de Nice, Université de Nice – Sophia Antipolis (CNRS), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Nicolas Baldovini. Dr. Mladenović has participated in multiple national research projects and has been actively involved in organizing scientific events (ISEO 2018; SHD 2014, 2019, 2024) and coordinating science competitions for elementary and high school students at various levels.
