Bojan Kopilovic is an experienced PhD researcher with expertise in nucleic acid production, purification and mainly delivery of IVT mRNA-based therapeutics. Proven ability in nanoparticle formulations, delivery and data interpretation. Eager to contribute to cutting-edge research. Bojan completed the MSc in Chemistry in 2019 and BSc in Chemistry in 2018 by the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. Recognized for his outstanding achievements, he was an Erasmus+ MSc student at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, from February to July 2019 and attended the Summer School of Chemistry at Technische Universität Graz, Austria, from July to August 2017. After the defense of his MSc thesis, he returned to the University of Aveiro as a researcher scholarship holder, participating in two financed projects (one with industry). Kopilovic works in the field of Chemical Sciences, comprising the Analytical Chemistry, Green Chemistry, and Medical Biotechnology fields. His research focus is the encapsulation of biopharmaceuticals using biopolymers. His research resulted in three manuscripts in preparation and an oral presentation at a national conference. Bojan volunteers and is the Cultural Department Coordinator at the Erasmus Student Network in Aveiro.
