Bojan Milic is a senior majoring in biology (biochemistry/biophysics) and chemistry. Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and having spent his childhood in Kuwait, Bojan arrived at Stanford with an interest in the intersection between the physical and life sciences. During his freshman year, he joined the single-molecule biophysics laboratory of Professor Steven Block. Bojan's research is aimed at elucidating the mechanochemical properties of various constructs of kinesin, a dimeric motor protein, using laser-based gradient-force optical trapping. He intends to pursue graduate studies in biophysics or physical chemistry.
Poster presented at the Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Symposium on August 27, 2012:
Probing the Effects of Neck-Linker Length Modulation on Kinesin Mechanochemistry
