Amra AksamijaPhD, Postdoctoral Fellow

Amra Aksamija received her M.A. degree in Organic Chemistry at the University of Avignon and Pays of Vaucluse in France, in Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry and Molecular Vectorial Systems, Equipe of Chemistry applied to Art and Archaeology in 2007. She completed her Ph.D studies in Organic Chemistry, speciality analytical chemistry at the University of Avignon and Pays of Vaucluse, in IMBE-UMR 7263 CNRS, Restoration Engineering of Natural and Cultural Heritage in 2012 (A. Aksamija, C. Mathe, C. Vieillescazes: «Liquid Chromatography of Triterpenic Resins after Derivatization with Dansyl Chloride», Journal of liquid chromatography and related technologies, Volume 35, issue 9, 2012 ; p. 1222-1237 ; A. Aksamija, C. Mathe, C. Vieillescazes: «A comparative study of triterpenic resins by liquid chromatography. Application to a sample from Ancien Egypt», Current Topics in Phytochemistry, Vol. 13, 2016, p. 53-67.).

After her doctorate, she worked on several postdoctoral projects (A. Aksamija, A. Polidori, R. Plasson, O. Dangles, V. Tomao: «The inclusion complex of rosmarinic acid into beta-cyclodextrin: a thermodynamic and structural analysis by NMR and capillary electrophoresis», Food Chemistry, Vol. 208, 2016, p. 258-263.), including ESPRIT project (Study of Polychromed Stuccoes from Italian Renaissance) conducted by Louvre Museum and C2RMF in Paris (A. Aksamija, W. Nowik, P ; Lehuede, A-S. Le Ho, M. Bormand, A. Bouquillon : « Investigation of organic additives in Italian Renaissance devotion stucco reliefs from French collections », Journal of Cultural Heritage, in revision). She pursued characterization of organic matter present in the stucco sculptures by proteomic techniques in MSAP laboratory at University of Lille. Currently she works as postdoctoral fellow on optimisation of protocol for polysaccharide identification by MALDI-MS in the Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts at Northwestern University.
