Brief Description of Research Interest :

Vuk Uskoković, a native of Belgrade, Serbia, holds degrees in Physical Chemistry (BS/MS), Materials Science (MSc), and Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies (PhD). Currently, he is a principal investigator in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). His primary topic of research includes development of materials for simultaneous controlled delivery of drugs and bone remineralization in the treatment of osteomyelitis. From 2007 to 2010, he was a postdoctoral scholar in the UCSF Division of Biomaterials and Bioengineering, where he was involved in the research of biomimetic formation of biomineralized tissues. In 2006 and 2007, he was a postdoc at the Center for Advanced Materials Processing of Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY, where he investigated crystallization of cholesterol. He is a former member of Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, where he developed methods for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles applicable in the fields of electrical engineering and biomedicine. Beside his dedication to scientific research in the area of physical chemistry of nanoscale phenomena, he has extensively written on subjects that pertain to other disciplines. He has published more than 50 peer-reviewed works, including research papers, essays, reviews, monographs and books in the fields of physics, chemistry, biochemistry, philosophy, social and cognitive science, ecology, theology, science policy, and arts. He is the former Practice of Science Chair and the Past President of the UCSF Postdoctoral Scholars Association, and the Past Chair of the University of California Council of Postdoctoral Scholars.
