Damijan Miklavcic PhD

Damijan Miklavcic received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ljubljana in 1993. He is Full Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Biocybernetics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, where he previously served also as vice-dean for research and Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering.

Throughout his academic career he has been active in rehabilitation engineering, experimental oncology, and cell biology. In the last two decades he specifically focused on electroporation‐based gene transfer and drug delivery coupled with theoretical modeling of biophysical and biological processes, as well as development of hardware allowing for efficient electroporation both in vitro and in vivo. His current interests lie in further advancing electrochemotherapy as local treatment of internal malignant tumors, transferring the knowledge on tissue electroporation to other fields like food science, and development of innovative environmentally-friendly applications of electroporation.
