Saulius Satkauskas

Saulius Satkauskas serves as Professor of Biophysics at Vytautas Magnus University's (VMU) Faculty of Natural Sciences in Kaunas, Lithuania, concurrently leading the VMU Environmental Research Center. Holding the title of Doctor of Biomedical Sciences, his work bridges biophysics, biochemistry, and neuroscience through innovative translational research methodologies.

His primary research focuses on physical techniques for biomedical applications:

• Electroporation and ultrasound sonoporation for enhanced drug/gene transfer to cells and tissues
• Tumor electrochemotherapy as a cancer treatment modality
• Mechanisms of gene therapy delivery systems
• Neuroscience investigations into cerebral hemisphere dominance, perceptual illusions, and consciousness
• Axonal growth regulation in neural development
• Cellular and intercellular signaling processes

Internationally experienced through research internships at France's Gustave-Roussy Institute (Paris), Strasbourg Neurochemistry Center, and University of Strasbourg, he maintains active professional affiliations with the Lithuanian Society of Biophysicists, Lithuanian Neuroscience Association, and Lithuanian Society of Biochemists. As head of the Environmental Research Center, he directs interdisciplinary projects exploring environmental biophysics applications and sustainable development solutions.
