Biography :

Oleg V. Gradov is the leader of the Biophysical Instrumentation Group at the Tal’roze Institute for Energy Problems of Chemical Physics (Russian Academy of Sciences), working in the Laboratory of Biological Effects of Nanostructures. His recent works are focused on lab-on-a-chip design for multispectral multipara metric mapping, ERD-SBGN-mapping of biological samples, chemo metric microscopy, and spectroelectrochemical and electro-morphological techniques for bio membranes and neural structures. He has collaborated with researchers in several other areas of computer-assisted biophysical and biochemical investigations, including neurophysiology and neuromorphology, biogeochemistry and bio geophysics, photo biochemistry and laser biophysics, bioinformatics and chemoinformatics. Oleg has served on around 10 conference and workshop program committees and is the Program Chair for the Analog Signal Processing-Based Bioinformatics Seminar (ASP-BB) at INEPCP, Moscow. He is also an ambassador of ASAP Bio (Accelerating Science and Publication in Biology, based in Cambridge, USA) in Russia and member of several advisory boards. Oleg has founded some novel trends in analog biomedical engineering and quantitative microscopy. He is the author of 120 journal papers and 90 conference papers and seminar reports before 2018, and an editorial board member of 10 journals. His group's recent grants include: “Development of the novel physical methods for complex biomedical diagnostics based on position-sensitive mapping with the angular resolution at the tissue and cellular levels using analytical labs-on-a-chip” (RFBR # 16-32-00914) and “Lab-on-a-chip development for personalized diagnostics” (FASIE 0019125). His scientific memberships and affiliations include the International Union of Crystallography; the American Physical Society; the American Chemical Society; the International Society for Environmental Information Sciences; the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics [SIAM Activity Group on the Life Sciences and SIAM Activity Group on Imaging Science]; the International Association of Engineers; the International Society for Infectious Diseases; Confocal Club; and the International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology. The general motto of his group is: “Logics, Discipline, Enthusiasm, and Inspiration!”.
