Professor Martina Smolić, MD, PhD, University of Osijek, Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health, Croatia Professor Martina Smolić is a distinguished Croatian pharmacologist whose academic and research career has been devoted to advancing understanding of liver pharmacology, drug-induced hepatotoxicity, and translational medicine. She currently holds several leadership positions at the University of Osijek, serving as Vice Dean for Science and Postgraduate Studies, Head of the Department of Translational Medicine at the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health, and Director of the University Doctoral Programme in Molecular Biosciences. Prof. Smolić earned both her medical degree and PhD in biomedical sciences from the University of Osijek, where she has since built an extensive academic and scientific career. Her postdoctoral and collaborative research, including five years of NIH-funded work in the United States, has significantly contributed to understanding the molecular mechanisms of liver injury, drug metabolism, and the role of oxidative stress in hepatocellular damage. Through this work, she has developed a strong interest in bridging preclinical and clinical research to improve therapeutic outcomes in hepatology. She has published more than 80 scientific papers in international peer-reviewed journals and contributed to several book chapters, reflecting a sustained research output and commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration (h-index: 23, Scopus). In addition to her research activities, Prof. Smolić is an experienced academic mentor, having supervised numerous master’s and doctoral candidates across biomedical and health sciences disciplines. Prof. Smolić leads Croatian research teams in two major EU-funded projects—DDS-MAP (EU4Health) and DAADRAC (Interreg IPA)—focused on innovative drug delivery systems, digital health, and translational research. Her contributions to international cooperation and scientific excellence have been recognized through several national and international awards. She currently serves on the editorial boards of the World Journal of Hepatology and the Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology, where she supports the dissemination of high-quality research in liver pharmacology and translational medicine.
