Research
Main research directions:
- Study of the environmental factor impact on biological system functioning (human and animal immune systems, immunocompetent cells, microorganisms):
- immunodeficiency mechanism formation under the influence of various environmental factors;
- method development to evaluate the immunotropic effect of biologically active compounds on the functional activity of immunocompetent cells;
- immunopathogenetic mechanisms of autoimmune diseases development;
- development, optimization and new research method development that can be used to study environmental factor impact on biological system functioning.
- development of biotechnological constructs using multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells for the treatment of socially significant human diseases (in vitro and in vivo studies)
Implementation of research projects:
- functional characteristics of memory T-cells in Parkinson’s disease, state registration number 20191464 (MO grant),
- investigate the immunomodulatory properties of polysaccharides of basidial fungi, state registration number 20191414 (grant of the Ministry of Defense),
- “Biocompatibility of multicomponent allogeneic cell cultures with decellularized liver scaffold (experimental study)”, BRFFI contract no. M19ARM-016
- development of innovative targeted anti-HIV agents (separate project of the Ministry of Defense, State registration No.: 20191188.
