Principal Investigator and Senior Researcher, Dr. Ausra Baradoke, boasts a rich academic journey, intertwined with over a decade of hands-on research across eight distinguished scientific groups, including the prestigious University of Oxford. Her illustrious educational pursuit culminated in a PhD, fostered through a collaborative endeavor between the Center for Physical and Technological Sciences, Dublin City University, and Trinity College Dublin, all reputable Irish institutions.
Dr. Baradoke's tenure at the University of Oxford was notably marked by the acquisition of Innovate UK funding, which propelled her towards authoring two high-impact publications and contributing to a pioneering patent in the realm of electrochemical sensors. Her scholarly voyage has further spawned seven revered publications in high-caliber international scientific journals, a patent application, and the dissemination of her research in 27 conferences, manifesting a knack for bridging the scientific community and the public domain.
The narrative of Dr. Baradoke's research and experimental development (R&D) chronicles a series of projects bankrolled by esteemed bodies like the Education Exchange Support Fund, Erasmus +, Innovate UK, and Mobilitas Pluss. Significant milestones include the successful orchestration of the "Intellect LT" project (VP2-1.3-uM-02-K-04-122), along with substantial contributions to METASENS (CH-3-SMM-01-11) and G †SUPERCAP (3200-P325, LAT-16002) initiatives.
Venturing beyond the academic sphere, Dr. Baradoke honed her expertise in sensor development through collaborative endeavors with private sector entities, notably ERUMPO LTD and later, Osler Diagnostics LTD.
Dr. Baradoke's foray into academia also entails a rich tapestry of mentorship, where she has been instrumental in nurturing students at varying academic stages (bachelor's, master's, doctoral) across a spectrum of esteemed universities: Vilnius University, Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin, University of Tartu, and University of Oxford. This facet of her journey underscores a deep-seated commitment to fostering the next generation of thought leaders, particularly within the pharmacy and sensor development sectors.
