Alexander Timoshenko

Dr. Alexander Timoshenko is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Western University. He specializes in the Cell Biology of Galectins and Glycobiology, focusing on molecular mechanisms of cellular stress responses, reactive oxygen species, and cancer biology. His work explores galectin networks and their roles in differentiation, stress adaptation, and disease. He has advised numerous students, including Sara Christiano, Rada Tazhitdinova, and Kristina Laus. Dr. Timoshenko’s research spans topics like O-GlcNAc homeostasis, lymphangiogenesis, and innate immunity.

His research interests include galectin biology, cellular signaling, and cancer biomarkers. Recent studies highlight O-GlcNAc modifications in HL-60 cells and neutrophil differentiation. He has published extensively on galectin functions, stress responses, and glycobiology. His work has been featured in journals like Cell Biology International and Biomolecules.

Dr. Timoshenko leads a lab at Western University, training students in cell and molecular biology techniques. Prospective students are encouraged to contact him regarding galectin research opportunities.
