Established and managed my own laboratory focused on the development of an innovative medical device. The project involves clinical trials with the prototype to confirm its efficacy and safety. The second phase is directed towards refining and improving the device based on the obtained data, preparing it for production and market launch, offering patients access to advanced medical solutions for significant health and well-being improvement.
I joined a group of scientists who were developing a new formula for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. We observed in human podocytes in vitro and in kidney cortexes of diabetic db/db mice in vivo. In one of the scientific studies, we identified the lipid enzyme SMPDL3b as a modulator of insulin signaling and demonstrated that the addition of exogenous C1P may represent a lipid therapeutic strategy for the treatment of diabetic complications such as DKD.
My graduate work in the laboratory of Kazan University helped to clarify the mechanism of the action of plant materials on the cell growth of yeast and reduce the development of contaminating microflora – spore bacteria and mold fungi. I found that individual batches of yeast contain an increased amount of spore forming bacteria (up to 106 CFU / g) with increased proteolytic activity, which dramatically reduces the shelf life of bread and yeast fermentation continues in the human gastrointestinal tract. I created a highly efficient technology for the production of bread. My scientific research has had a significant development in the range of dietary bakery products.
