My Work

Prof. Volkov has expertise in nanomedicine and biomedical applications of nanotechnologies, molecular mechanisms of immune system functioning in health and disease, cell adhesion and migration in inflammation and cancer, intracellular signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics, advanced cell and molecular imaging. Currently his group is pursuing the applications of nanomaterials for advanced research and medical diagnostics and assessment of environmental, health and safety impact of emerging nanomaterials.
