Prof. Vitalij Novickij

Prof. Vitalij Novickij is the Director of the Institute of High Magnetic Fields (VilniusTECH) and Head of the Department of Immunology and Bioelectrochemistry (State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine). He specializes in high-power electronics and electromagnetic radiation and its effects on biological objects, with a high focus on the phenomenon of electroporation in the context of drug and gene delivery. Topics such as bacteria inactivation (food/wound related), targeted cancer treatment (incl. immunogenic response characterization), overcoming drug-resistance using electromagnetic fields are focused. The applied electroporation research is performed on all pre-clinical levels (in silico, in vitro, in vivo). V. Novickij has co-authored more than 110 scientific publications (CA WoS) and developed 10+ various high-power generators for biomedical applications. Some of the developed generators right now are distributed to various laboratories worldwide, including the University of Ljubljana, Wroclaw Medical University, Old Dominion University, University of California, etc.
