izv. prof. dr. sc. Krešimir Sanković

Profile

Krešimir Sanković, PhD is Assistant professor at the Department of Biophysics. He teaches graduate courses Physics, elective courses Biostatistics, Membrane transport of substances and information and postgraduate course EPR of free radicals. His scientific interests mainly include exploring the conditions and processes of charge transfer and energy in the basis of nucleic acids caused by ionizing radiation, identifies free radicals and their kinetics; investigates antioxidant processes in biological systems and the possibility of applying ultrasound to the target storage of the selected substances into tissue cells in vivo.
