Ivan Lozic

Dr. Ivan Lozic is a Senior Research Officer at the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation & Analysis at The University of Western Australia, with expertise in nanotechnology, mass spectrometry, and neuroscience research. His work spans disciplines including pharmacology, biochemistry, and environmental science.

• Education: PhD in Nanotechnology from The University of Western Australia (thesis: Towards functionalised nanoparticle-based therapies for oxidative stress following partial injury to the central nervous system).

Lozic's research focuses on:

• Developing polymeric nanoparticles for treating central nervous system injuries and oxidative stress
• Metabolomics and GCMS analysis
• Calcium ion dynamics in neurotrauma
• Manganese-calcium cluster chemistry
• Environmental impacts on coral reef bioerosion

His publications reflect interdisciplinary trends combining nanomaterials (2015-2023), neuroscience (optic nerve, neurotrauma), and environmental science (turbid reef bioerosion). Key methodologies include secondary ion mass spectrometry and polymer characterization.

Lozic's collaborations span Australia and international institutions, with over 100 citations to his work. He utilizes open-access platforms like Pure and Scopus for research dissemination.
