Biography
Jelena M. Janjic is working as professor at School of Pharmacy, Duquesne University. She holds Ph.D.in Medicinal Chemistry from University of Pittsburgh, 2005. Her area of expertize are Design and synthesis of novel drug delivery formulations with focus on liquid and semisolid dosage forms and nanosystems; Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of theranostic dosage forms (nanoemulsions, nanogels, gels, capsules, etc.) for imaging and treatment of inflammation in varied pathological states (cancer, neuronal injury, inflammatory bowel disease, muscle diseases); Applying theranostics and nanotechnology to studying immune system and nervous system interplay in chronic pain; Development of nanotechnology based therapeutic interventions for chronic pain.
