Prof. Dr. Ivan Salamon: university teacher and scientist, is the managing investigator of several R & D projects of medicinal and aromatic plants. He is the principal author of the patent – the freeze-drying technology (lyophilization), as unique methods of anthocyanin isolation from medicinal plant small fruits, Chamomile variety “LIANKA” with the high content of /-/-α-bisabolol and Peppermint variety “KRISTINKA” with the high content of menthol of essential oils. Both varieties obtain the Certificates by the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) in Angers, France.

- A reviewer in many prestigious journals as: molecules, biomolecules, Natural Product Research, Journal of Inflammation Research, Indian Journal of Natural Products and Resources and many others.
- More recently, has developed a significant interest in monitoring the pharmacological effects and mechanism of action of different classes of chemical compounds isolated from natural sources and their possible role in medicine.
Research/scholarly interests:
- Understanding and having good skills in structure elucidation of the isolated compounds from any natural source based on classic and recent spectroscopic methods: (UV, IR, 1H-NMR,1H-1H COSY, 13C-NMR, DEPT 13C-NMR, HSQC, HMQC, EI-,+FAB- and MALDI-TOF-MS) in addition to the comparison of the physical, chemical and chromatographic characters of these compounds with authentic samples.
- excellent skills in botanical studies of medicinal plants through their macro- and micromorphological characters of their different parts (leaves, roots, seeds…..etc.).
- excellent skills in extraction, fractionation, and isolation of active constituents from natural medicinal plants.
