Personal History

M.D., 1978-1985, Medicine & Biophysics, Russian State Medical University, Moscow

Ph.D., 1990-1994, Epidemiology & Immunology, Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Moscow

Research Interests

My research is focused on immune semaphorins Sema4A and Sema4D. We will identify the cellular source of immune semaphorins and their receptors in the lung and define their precise roles in allergic airway inflammation in order to use them as novel targets for asthma therapy.
