معرفی
Zeljana Sotra is a Researcher at Linköping University's Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV), Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, working within the Division of Surgery, Orthopedics and Oncology (KOO) and the Experimental Plastic Surgery research group. Her role involves interdisciplinary collaboration across biomedical engineering and clinical domains to develop innovative wound care solutions.
Her research specializes in nanocellulose-based biomaterials for advanced wound dressings, with core expertise in real-time monitoring systems (pH and protease sensors for infection detection) and controlled antimicrobial peptide delivery. This work bridges materials science, biosensor technology, and clinical wound management to address critical challenges in infection control and healing acceleration.
Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals a strong trend toward multifunctional wound dressings that integrate diagnostic capabilities with therapeutic delivery. Key developments include nanocellulose composites for pathogen detection, pH-responsive monitoring systems, and engineered hydrogels for optimized antimicrobial release, demonstrating a cohesive trajectory in smart biomaterial design for clinical translation.
No scientific awards or honors were documented in the available sources. Information regarding student advising, research grants, or specific laboratory infrastructure was not provided, though her consistent co-authorship on collaborative projects indicates active participation in the Experimental Plastic Surgery team's translational research initiatives.
