Presenting our fellows: Milan Đorđević, a talented scientist
This summer, our fellow Milan Đorđević undertook a four-month-long internship in the prestigious Keyser laboratory as a part of the “Amgen Scholars Programme – University of Cambridge”. KeyserLab is part of the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in which Watson and Crick discovered the secondary structure of DNA which was one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century honored by a Nobel Prize. Through this program, he has conducted a research project in the field of DNA nanotechnology under the name of “Computationally-aided optimization for efficient DNA assembly at the nanoscale”, which he also had a chance to present during the program. In collaboration with scientists from Keyser laboratory, he also took part in another research project in the DNA nanotechnology field which resulted in a scientific paper that is currently in a process of publication.
Milan was selected among more than a hundred participants of the program worldwide to share his experience during the interview with the Amgen Foundation founded by Harvard University. An interview can be found here: Remote Research and Networking in Pandemic Times – Amgen Scholars
Currently, Milan is a research intern at the Laboratory of Biosensors & Nanomachines, University of Rome Tor Vergata where he participates in two research projects in the field of DNA nanotechnology. Simultaneously, Milan is a Master’s student studying Genomics at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade. Milan believes that it is of greatest importance to introduce youth to science, especially those who live outside of the major urban areas and are limited in access to high-quality education.
We are excited to see what awaits him in the future!
