Dr. Andrei G. Pakhomov
Research Associate Professor
Ph.D. Medical Radiology Research Center, Obninsk, Russia. Lipidic nanopores of plasma membranes in mammalian cells |
Andrei G. Pakhomov received his M.S. degree in animal and human physiology from Moscow State University in 1982, and a Ph.D. in radiation biology from the Medical Radiology Research Center in Obninsk, Russia, in 1989.
He was a leading Research Scientist at the Medical Radiology Research Center until receiving a Resident Research Associateship Award from the National Research Council in 1994 and moved to the US. Currently he is a Research Associate Professor with the Frank Reidy Research Center for Bioelectrics, Old Dominion University, Norfolk VA. For over a decade, his research was focused on bioeffects of extremely high-peak, low-average power electromagnetic pulses. His recent studies of changes in cell plasma membrane following exposure to nanosecond pulsed electric fields revealed such effects as long-lasting membrane permeabilization and inhibition of voltage gating of selected channels. Since 2004 he has been an Associate Editor for Bioelectromagnetics. Dr. Pakhomov is the principal author of over 100 publications and presentations.
Dr. Pakhomov is a member of the Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS), the International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety (ICES), and the Society for Neuroscience (SFN). He served as a Guest Editor for IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science.
