Autorenporträt

Pavel Kraikiviski, PhD, is a research faculty member in the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. He has acted as a reviewer for several journals and has several published articles to his name as well as several presentations at professional meetings. His current research interests include biophysics, system biology, molecular biophysics and structural biology, cell cycles, intracellular systems, and intracellular transport. Dr. Kraikivski has a unique academic background from his education at Russian, German, and American universities and extensive scientific research education. He has conducted research at the Max-Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Germany, where his research focused on active bio-polymers, and has also worked at the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling at the University of Connecticut Health Center. He has made significant contributions in computational cell biology and biophysics, particularly in the areas of intracellular transport and cytoskeleton dynamics.
