Print versionHead of the laboratory – Candidate of Biological Sciences (PhD. In Biology)
Oleg V. Utkin
Directions of activities:
- Study of structural and functional polymorphism of molecules involved in the initiation, realization and regulation of programmed cell death (apoptosis) in normal, as well as in diseases of infectious and non-infectious genesis.
- Development of new methods for monitoring the functional state of cellular immunity in bacterial, viral infections, oncological diseases.
-
Study of the genetic diversity of herpes viruses in relation to the clinical features of the course of the infectious process.
- Development of test systems in the format of biological microchips for the indication of actual causative agents of community-acquired pneumonia.
Laboratory achievements:
- The laboratory staff published more than 100 scientific papers, 1 monograph, prepared 8 scientific reports, registered 2 know-how, received 4 certificates of depositionof full-length mRNA hybridization protocols for spliced versions of key participants in apoptosis-associated signaling in the Gene Expression Omnibus database on the NCBI portal.
- Computer program "Splice variants microarray design pipeline (SVMD pipeline)", has been developed ,which allows to analyze several tens of millions of nucleotide sequences and select several discriminating probes for detection of target mRNA in a sample using biochip technology in less than a day.
- The staff of the laboratory together with colleagues from the Privolzhsky Research Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation became laureates of innovative projects of Skolkovo, the Russian Academy of Sciences OncoBioMed 2016, the scientific and practical event with international participation “Relay of University Science 2017”, as well as the main national award for the best doctors and scientists of Russia, working in the medical field, "Prizvaniye 2017" (“Mission 2017”) in the nomination "for the creation of a new diagnostic method."
