Biography

Dr. Naumenko became Head of the Department of Behavioral Neurogenomics at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in 2014 followed by defense of doctoral (Dr.Sc.) thesis in physiology in 2012. He completed his Ph.D. in physiology at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in 2006 after he graduated from Novosibirsk State University as molecular biologist in 2005. He joined the Department of Behavioral Neurogenomics while he was student in 2002 and began to study the role of different types of serotonin receptors in the regulation of genetically determined defensive behavior in animal models. Now he studies the molecular mechanisms of serotonin receptor interaction and their role in the mechanisms of aggressive behavior and depression. Dr. Naumenko is also studying the cross-talk between neurotrophic factors and brain neurotransmitters in the regulation of different kind of behavior.
