Naš naučnik Milan Mrkšić na najprestižnijem američkom Univerzitetu

Ima redak status doživotnog profesora na Univerzitetu, a bio je pokretač i sintetičke laboratorije koja koristi biološke sisteme, biljke, bakterije i ćelije da proizvode hemikalije i lekove za farmaceutsku industriju

Naš priznati i nagrađivani naučnik Milan Mrkšić imenovan je za potpredsednika za istraživanje Northwestern Univerziteta u Čikagu, jednom od 12 najprestižnijih u Americi, piše SerbianTimes.info.

Ovu važno visoko zvanje u instituciji koja je ujedno i najveća i najbolja bolnica u Čikagu, zaslužio je vodeći portfelj univerziteta tokom pandemijske borbe.

“Mrkšić je preuzeo funkciju privremenog potpredsednika za istraživanje 1. oktobra 2019, mnogo pre nego što nas je pogodila globalna pandemija, ali njegovo duboko znanje i razumevanje istraživačkog centra na Univerzitetu značajno su mu pomogli u novoj ulozi. Završio je sjajan posao radeći sa svojim timom na prilagođavanju istraživačkih aktivnosti tokom epidemije i održavanju osnovnih laboratorijskih i administrativnih usluga”, rečeno je prilikom imenovanja.

Po preuzimanju funkcije, prof. Milan Mrkšić planira da istraživanje vrati u kampus.

Koliko je njegova uloga na Northwestern Univerzitetu značajna, najbolje govori podatak da se u istraživačku infrastrukturu na godišnjem nivou odvaja 798,3 miliona dolara (podatak za 2019. godinu).

Predsednik Northwestern sistema Morton Šapir istakao je da profesor Milan Mrkšić odličan vođa i da trenutno zauzima proaktivan pristup “kako bi intenzivirao istraživanja u borbi protiv COVID-19, istovremeno osiguravajući da Univerzitet nastavi da drži svoje stroge, visokokvalitetne istraživačke standarde.”

Mrkšić je objavio više od 200 naučnih radova i oko 500 predavanja o svom radu.

Ima redak status doživotnog profesora na Univerzitetu, a bio je pokretač i sintetičke laboratorije koja koristi biološke sisteme, biljke, bakterije i ćelije da proizvode hemikalije i lekove za farmaceutsku industriju.

Nacionalno poznati hemičar je lider u razvoju površinske hemijske industrije za niz primena u naukama o životu, nanoznanjima i bioinžinjeringu.

Bio je i pomoćnik direktora za tehnologiju u Holističkom centru za rak, saradnik je Američkog instituta za medicinsko i biološko inženjerstvo i Američkog udruženja za unapređenje nauke.

Njegovi roditelji su doseljenici u SAD, a kao rođeni Amerikanac srpskog porekla uspeva da održava veze sa maticom, tako što promoviše znamenite Srbe, a ćerke šalje na folklor.

Bishop Hrizostom (Stolić)

(1988–2012)

After the death of Bishop Grigorije the Western Diocese was administered by Irinej, Bishop of Niš, from October 1985 until May 1986, and by Sava, Bishop of Šumadija, from July 1986 until May 1988.

The Holy Bishops’ Assembly at the regular session in May 1988 elected Archimandrite Hrizostom Stolić as a Bishop of the Western Diocese.

Bishop Hrizostom was born in 1939 in Ruma where he graduated from elementary school and middle school (High School). After High School he went to the Dečani Monastery where he took monastic vows. He was ordained to hierodeacon and hieromonk by Rt. Rev. Pavle, Bishop of Ras-Prizren. Soon afterwards he went to America to be at the service to his Church and people. He studied at the Seminary in the Russian Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville. He then came to Chicago and helped the pastor at Holy Resurrection Church with his duties. He was appointed temporary pastor of St. George Church in East Chicago, Indiana in 1967. He remained there until 1969. For two years he established firm spiritual roots in the community. He felt a higher calling and responded to it. In 1969 he went to the Hilandar Monastery at Mount Athos in Greece, where he remained for nineteen years. There he was elevated to the rank of archimandrite by the Patriarch of Constantinople, His Holiness Demitrius the First. At one time he was elected a Dean of Mount Athos. He was a librarian in the Hilandar Monastery. Along with the spiritual growth he advanced his intellectual dimensions. He published the Lives of the Holy Fathers in two volumes and the Liturgy of St. Apostle James, which he translated into the Serbian language.
