Sergey Markin

Sergey Markin, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy at Drexel University College of Medicine. His career spans academic roles at Rostov State University and Drexel University, with visiting scientist positions in South Korea and Canada.

• PhD in Computer Science (1997) and MS in Radiophysics (1992) from Rostov State University
• Research Scholar (2000-2002) and Research Associate (2002-2004) at Drexel University
• Current NINDS/NIH-funded projects on locomotion and respiratory control

His research focuses on computational neuroscience, specifically modeling neural control of respiration and locomotion. Key areas include:

• Computational modeling of biological neurons and neural networks
• Ion channel kinetics in neuronal pattern formation
• Cross-level integration of neural mechanisms across scales
• Spatiotemporal dynamics of neural oscillations
• Applications to restoring locomotor function after spinal injuries

Scientific awards and honors are not explicitly mentioned in the available text. Dr. Markin collaborates with researchers like Ilya Rybak and Simon Giszter, working on projects that bridge computational neuroscience with biomedical engineering applications.
