Biography
Milan Antonijevic obtained a BSc in Chemistry (Hons) from the School of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, Serbia (1997). He then spent just over four years working in the Quality Control Department (Physico-Chemical Characterisation) of the leading pharmaceutical company in Serbia (Hemofarm). Next career step involved a move to the UK and continuation of his education.
Milan studied pharmaceutical materials science under the supervision of Dr Susan A Barker and Prof Duncan Q M Craig. He was awarded a PhD at the School of Pharmacy, Queen’s University Belfast in 2005.
His first faculty post was at the School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, University of East Anglia, 2004 as a Senior Demonstrator. First permanent faculty post (Lecturer) at the School of Science, University of Greenwich, started in 2006, progressing to Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader for BSc Chemistry in 2008 and subsequently becoming Principal Lecturer and Programme Leader for MSc Pharmaceutical Science in 2010.
Areas of Expertise
Milan Antonijevic uses thermal analytical techniques,specifically, Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) Spectroscopy to study pharmaceutically important molecules. Particular interest lies in monitoring phase changes of active principles, excipients and their interactions. Information obtained is used to develop optimal dosage form. Additional projects involve development of methods that can be used to predict the stability, photodegradation pathways and kinetics of photo degradation of drug in both crystalline and amorphous form.
