NIH funds Ivanov’s proteome profiling
“Deep proteomic profiling of scarce biological and clinical samples is still a major challenge since no amplification techniques are available for proteins and proteoforms, and current state-of-the-art proteomic techniques based on conventional chromatography columns coupled with mass spectrometry provide suboptimal performance and sensitivity levels. In this study, based on our novel, currently unavailable on the market, chromatographic column technology, we plan to build a reliable, robust, thoroughly evaluated commercialization-ready prototype chromatography platform to enable ultrasensitive proteomic profiling and address the challenges of numerous clinical, academic, and industrial laboratories.”

Shansky receives National Institute of Mental Health support to study brain development post-pregnancy
“Pregnancy is characterized by marked changes in circulating hormones that can induce long-lasting changes in the brain. The goal of this project is to determine how the hormone allopregnanolone may induce a robust neural inhibition in the medial prefrontal cortex during pregnancy, resulting in over-compensatory actions that persist well after birth. Our work will provide much-needed insight into the development of the brain post-pregnancy.”
