Informationen zum Autor Ales Iglic received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics and M.Sc. degree in biophysics from the Department of Physics! and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering! all from the University of Ljubljana. He is a Full Professor and the Head of Laboratory of Biophysics of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at University of Ljubljana. His main research interests are in electrostatics! mechanics and statistical physics of lipid nanostructures and biological membranes. He is devoted to higher education! basic research in biophysics and close contacts to clinical practice. Prof. Iglic was visiting scientist and professor at bo Academy University in Turku (Finland)! Friedrich Schiller University in Jena (Germany) and Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic). He established collaborations with researchers from different universities across the Europe! USA and India and was supervisor of many M.Sc.! Ph.D. and postdoctoral students from Slovenia! Czech Republic! Poland! Iran! Bulgaria! Germany! India and Israel. Since 2009 is the editor of Elsevier book series Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes (APLBL). Klappentext Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes volumes cover a broad range of topics! including main arrangements of the reconstituted system! namely planar lipid bilayers as well as spherical liposomes. The invited authors present the latest results of their own research groups in this exciting multidisciplinary field. Zusammenfassung Explores the planar lipid bilayer systems and spherical liposomes from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. This book covers a broad range of topics! including main arrangements of the reconstituted system! namely planar lipid bilayers as well as spherical liposomes.
