RESUME
Dr. Chistyakov is a qualified expert in pharmacology, biochemistry, biophysics and genetic toxicology. He has many years of productive experience in scientific research management. He established the Laboratory of Experimental Mutagenesis (the Institute of Biology, Sothern Federal University, SFedU). In this laboratory, a number of projects supported by AVTSP, FTP and SFedU internal grants, have been successfully carried out. Dr. Chistyakov participated in a commercial research project «The practical use of Skulachev’s ions.» In the frames of this project, Dr. Chistyakov supervised several studies andshopwed for the first time antimutagenic, endocrine and NO generation stimulating activity of 10-(6′-plastoquinonyl) decyltriphenylphosphonium (SkQ1. The project served as a foundation for the first national mitochondria-targeted formulation, «Visomitin.» Under the leadership of Dr. Chistyakov, models of age-related loss of cellularity and of the interaction of the C60 fullerene with protons were established. Dr. Chistyakov guided several research projects that showed probiotic properties of sporeforming microorganisms, and the genomes of most promising strains were studied. Dr. Chistyakov’s laboratory conducted in vitro experiments, which proved the ability of Bacillus probiotic spent media to produce biologically active antioxidants and DNA protectors. Dr. Chistyakov has experience in research on processes of aging, including reproductive aging, the development of probiotic products and their application in poultry.
