Maxim Voynov

Maxim Voynov is an Assistant Research Professor at North Carolina State University, affiliated with the Current Faculty. His research focuses on advancing Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) techniques to study membrane proteins, lipid bilayers, and biological interfaces. Key areas include developing pH-sensitive probes, analyzing electrostatic properties of transmembrane domains, and investigating nanoantioxidant therapies for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

His work integrates experimental and theoretical approaches to understand molecular interactions at biological interfaces. Recent studies explore water concentration gradients in lipid bilayers, protonation dynamics of transmembrane peptides, and the role of silica nanoparticles in modulating electrostatics.

Publications highlight contributions to EPR methodologies, including HySCORE and DEER spectroscopy applications. While no awards are explicitly listed, his prolific output (over 40 publications) reflects significant contributions to biophysical chemistry and membrane biology.

Voynov’s research also extends to drug delivery systems, particularly nanoantioxidants, and the development of novel EPR-active probes for biomedical applications. His interdisciplinary work bridges materials science, biochemistry, and biophysics, with implications for both fundamental science and therapeutic innovation.
