Biography
Srećko Gajović is Head of Histology and Embryology at University of Zagreb School of Medicine. He is Coordinator of FP7 REGPOT project GlowBrain dedicated to unlock the research potential of Croatian Institute for Brain Research through stem cell and biomaterial applications in the mouse stroke model. He is Editor-in-Chief of Croatian Medical Journal, best general medical scientific journal in this part of Europe, and ex-Chair of European COST Domain Committee for Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences. He was born in Zagreb, Croatia, where he completed his studies of medicine and get a PhD at University of Zagreb. His postdoctoral positions were at Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany, and at Institute for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in Trieste, Italy. In his current research, he tries to understand the role of innate immunity in brain repair after stroke, and to develop tissue engineering strategies by combining stem cells and biomaterials for the brain repair.
