About this book
This major reference work is a one-shot knowledge base on electroporation and the use of pulsed electric fields of high intensity and their use in biology, medicine, biotechnology, and food and environmental technologies, and is built on the 1st Edition of the Handbook published in 2017. Electroporation since then has grown and developed new exiting applications. Improved knowledge and equipment allowed exiting developments in medicine, food and biotechnology, and environmental applications. The 2nd Edition offers a widespread and well-structured compilation of updated and new sections and chapters with more than 30% of volume increase and provides an unparalleled source of knowledge on electroporation.
It is written, reviewed and edited by the most prominent researchers in the field. With the updates and growing in its volume it is suitable for academic readers and researchers regardless of their disciplinary expertise, and will also beaccessible to students. The 2nd edition brings new sections on cardiac ablation, cell and gene based therapies, and focused sections on cancer treatments in human and veterinary medicine. Special focus has been given to electroporation in food processing, agriculture, process engineering, energy and environment. Sections devoted to a basic understanding of electroporation, laboratory techniques and modeling provide an in depth understanding of the phenomenon of electroporation at different levels: from molecular level to systemic responses.
An Editorial Board of distinguished scholars from across the world has selected and reviewed the various chapters to ensure the highest quality of this Handbook. In addition to the original section editors of the 1st edition: Richard Heller, Javier Raso, Marie-Pierre Rols, Boris Rubinsky, Gregor Serša, Eugene Vorobiev, and P. Thomas Vernier, many more have joined: Nadia Bousetta, Maja Čemažar, Rafael Davalos, Julie Gehl, Alexander Golberg, Muriel Golzio, Loree Heller, Antony Ivorra, Bor Kos, Julita Kulbacka, James Lyng, Felippe Meglietti, Vitalij Novickij, Indrawati Oey, Andrei Pakhomov, Vivek Reddy, Emanuela Signori, Chenguo Yao, and Mounir Tarek. The list of the section editors coming from different geographical locations, and of different backgrounds guarantees high quality, depth and breadth of the topics included in the 2nd edition of the Handbook of Electroporation.Editors and Affiliations
About the editor
Damijan Miklavčič was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1963. He received Doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Ljubljana in 1993. He is Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana. Damijan Miklavčič is world-leading expert in the field of electroporation. He has been the proposer and chair of the COST TD1104, which ended with the 1st World Congress on Electroporation held in 2015 in Portorož, Slovenia attended by 400 participants from around the globe. He was the initiator and one of the founders of the International Society for Electroporation-Based Technologies and Treatments, and the first elected president of the Society.
In the past 30 years, he contributed to a better understanding of electroporation on membrane, cell and tissue level. He has been involved in basic research demonstrating on preclinical level (in vitro and in vivo) improved efficacy of selected cancer drugs by electroporation,developing electrodes and devices, and providing numerical modelling towards treatment planning. He was involved in development of irreversible electroporation for cardiac ablation, which holds great promise and lends itself as a game-changer in cardiac electrophysiology. He is also developing DNA delivery to cells by electroporation in vitro and in vivo for cell and gene based therapies.Bibliographic Information
