Alexei Golovkin, MD, DSc
Head of the Group

The Group focuses on the development and testing of new tissue-engineered structures and modification of biomaterials in order to improve their biocompatibility and functionality. In particular, models of small-diameter vascular prostheses are being developed using surface-modified polymers and copolymers as well as decellularized umbilical arteries.

Another area is the study of the role of extracellular vesicles in the regulation of physiological and pathological processes in cells.

Specialists

Projects

Tissue-engineered biomaterials that stimulate the regenerative potential of tissues due to enhanced spatial architecture and reduced inflammatory response.
