UBHF

is a full professor of biochemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, where she holds this position since 2013. She is also the coordinator of the university’s Centre of Research Excellence for Molecular Food Sciences and an advisor in the area of international cooperation. After her graduation in biochemistry from the University of Belgrade, she further specialized in immunology during her postdoctoral studies at the Department of Medicine at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute. In 2016 she was appointed full professor of food chemistry at Ghent University and its global campus in South Korea. She is the president of the Serbian Proteomics Association and serves as a member of various scientific organizations, such as the Food Chemistry Division of the European Chemical Society (EuChemS), European Proteomics Association and the Executive Board of the Serbian Chemical Society (SCS). Since 2018 she is a corresponding member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Her current research interests revolve around proteomics, including the identification and cloning of new respiratory and food allergens for the improvement of pollen and food allergy diagnoses and treatment or the influence of food processing on the protein structure of foods.
