Shuba Yaroslav

Yaroslav Shuba is a Research Professor and Head of the Department of Neuromuscular Physiology at the Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU). He holds significant academic roles, including Deputy Director of the International Center of Molecular Physiology NASU and Invited Professor at the University of Lille (France). His research focuses on membrane ion channels, calcium signaling, and their roles in neuronal, cardiac, and cancer cell physiology.

Education: PhD (1983) and DSc (1991) in Biophysics from NASU affiliates. His career spans over four decades with international collaborations at institutions like Georgetown University (USA), Dalhousie University (Canada), and the University of Saarland (Germany).

Research Interests: Calcium-dependent channel regulation, electrophysiology, ion channel pathophysiology in cancer (oncochannelopathy), and cardiac ion channel pharmacology. His work bridges biophysics, neurophysiology, and clinical implications of ion channel dysfunction.

Awards:

• 2021 O.O. Bogomoletz Prize in Physiology
• 2013 P.G. Kostyuk Prize
• 2010 Ukrainian Parliamentary Honor

Advising & Grants: Advised post-graduate students through NASU programs. Active in securing grants for channelopathy research and cancer biology studies. Collaborates internationally on prostate cancer ion channel projects.

Labs & Teams: Directs the Department of Neuromuscular Physiology lab and collaborates with the University of Lille's Cell Physiology Lab. Research group focuses on integrative biophysical approaches to ion channel function.
