Milan Stojanovic

Milan Stojanovic serves as Associate Professor in Columbia University's Department of Biomedical Engineering within the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, with dual affiliation in the Department of Systems Biology. He concurrently holds the position of Associate Director in the Division of Clinical Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics.

His pioneering research focuses on engineering self-operating molecular automata capable of information processing and therapeutic response, high-resolution sensor arrays for bodily fluid analysis, and molecular systems exhibiting programmed walking and self-organization through local interactions. This work bridges nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and clinical therapeutics.

His publication record demonstrates consistent innovation in DNA-based molecular computation and biosensing, with key contributions spanning molecular robotics (2010), evolutionary sensor optimization (2012), and breakthrough Debye-length overcoming detection methods (2018). Recent work advances intradermal health monitoring through hydrogel microfilaments (2019).
