معرفی
Alexander Dizhoor, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy at Drexel University College of Medicine. A prominent scientist, he has been continuously NIH-funded for 28 years and holds a patent for 'Restoration of Visual Responses by in vivo Delivery of Rhodopsin Nucleic Acids.' His research focuses on photoreceptor biology and gene therapy applications to correct visual impairments. With an h-Index of 41 and over 100 peer-reviewed publications, he also serves as a journal editor and is frequently invited to deliver global seminars.
Education:
- PhD in Molecular Biology, Moscow State University
- BS in Biochemistry, Moscow State University
Research Interests: Dizhoor’s work integrates molecular biology and clinical applications, particularly targeting photoreceptor dysfunction. His lab explores mechanisms of visual signal transduction and develops gene therapy strategies for inherited retinal diseases. Recent efforts emphasize translational research to bridge basic science and clinical treatments.
Grants & Funding: NIH continuous funding since [year not specified] demonstrates sustained scientific impact. His patent ('US Patent [number not specified]') highlights commercializable innovations in vision restoration.
Labs/Teams: Leads a research team within the Neurobiology & Anatomy Department, collaborating with the Neuroscience (NEUS) Program at Drexel. His work intersects with clinical and basic science departments across the university.
