Highlighting the achievements and personal stories of our faculty, and their impact on medicine and our academic community
Associate Professor of Physiology
I grew up in a small town in Russia near the border of Ukraine and Belarus, in a household of nine people sharing three bedrooms. I never had a bed of my own until college, but I was a happy child—an avid reader with a flashlight under the blanket, a peacemaker among four siblings, and a student eager to learn.
