About

Vukasin M. Jovanovic is pioneering the frontier of stem cell biomanufacturing, with a research focus on scalable, high-throughput differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into specialized neuronal subtypes. His major contributions lie in developing automated, robotic culture systems that overcome the variability and labor-intensiveness of manual cell handling, enabling reproducible production of clinically relevant cells. Jovanovic’s work has generated over 130 citations, with his 2021 paper on robotic high-throughput biomanufacturing of hiPSCs (68 citations) standing as a foundational reference in the field. He has devised efficient stepwise protocols for generating sensory neurons (2023, 48 citations) and pseudo-unipolar sensory neurons (2022), directly advancing the development of non-addictive analgesics. Most recently, his 2024 study on scalable hypothalamic arcuate neuron differentiation offers a powerful platform for modeling metabolic and reproductive disorders. By merging engineering principles with developmental biology, Jovanovic is not only accelerating translational stem cell research but also providing the tools necessary for high-throughput drug screening and personalized medicine.
