Research Interests/Professional Overview
I obtained my Ph.D., Biological Physics, from the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1999. I did postdoctoral training in the field of mitochondrial physiology at the laboratory of Professor Kinnally at NYU and in the field of ion channel biophysics at the laboratory of Professor French at the University of Calgary. The main focus of my research is on studies of mitochondrial ion channels. We are interested in understanding their roles in normal mitochondrial energy metabolism and pathologies. My key contributions to the field include work on the Mitochondrial Apoptosis Channel and more recent studies of the molecular identity of the Permeability Transition Pore. Principal experimental techniques used in my laboratory include electrophysiology, imaging and biochemistry.
