Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

B.S. and M.A. in Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Babe\u0219-Bolyai University, 1997<\/p>\n

PhD: in Chemistry (experimental), Department of Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens GA (USA), 2004; in Chemistry (computational). Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Babe\u0219-Bolyai University, 2005<\/p>\n

Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prof. Silaghi-Dumitrescu received his PhD degrees from the University of Georgia in Athens, GA, U.S.A. (2004, experimental chemistry) and from the \u201cBabe\u0219-Bolyai\u201d University in Romania (2005, computational chemistry). After a postdoctoral stage at the University of Essex (Colchester, England), he returned to the \u201cBabe\u0219-Bolyai\u201d University in 2007, where he teaches biochemistry, computational chemistry and related subjects, while also serving as president of the Scientific Council (2012-) and director of the Center for University Strategies (2020-). His research explores the mechanisms of redox stress in biology and medicine (especially free radicals and metals) in contexts such as blood substitutes, anticancer drugs, oxidative and nitrosative stress in various ranges of organisms (from anaerobic microorganisms to plants and to vertebrates), or plant extracts \u2013 but also interdisciplinary applications of exact science tools in scientometrics or in cultural studies.<\/p>\n
