Marko Dolinar
I am at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology Biochemistry Chair. Before joining the Faculty (in 2001), I was research associate at the Jozef Stefan Institute where my research was focused on cysteine proteinases (mainly cathepsins L, H). As part-timer at the JSI from 2001-2006, I continued my work on cathepsins but spent much of my time organizing research conferences on proteinases and their inhibitors.

Currently, I am involved in development of recombinant humanized antibodies against prion protein (this is a collaboration with the Blood Transfusion Centre of Slovenia) and in a molecular biotechnology project on properties of linkers in fusion proteins. In 2006 and 2007 I was co-supervisor of the Slovenian iGEM teams. We won the Grand Prize in 2006 and were finalists and winners in the Medicine and Health track in 2007. My work on Synthetic biology continues with construction and testing of an array of versatile expression vectors based on the pSB series.
