Solvent Interaction Analysis

Dr. Boris Y. Zaslavsky graduated from Moscow State University as a bioanalytical chemist in 1967. He worked at the USSR Academy of Sciences, received a Ph.D. degree in 1974, and Dr.Sci. degree in 1986. He left the USSR for the USA in 1991 to take up a visiting scholar position at Cornell Medical College in New York City. He worked at KV Pharmaceuticals and Argonne National Laboratory. In 1996 Dr. Zaslavsky cofounded Analiza, Inc. and Cleveland Diagnostics, Inc. in 2013. He pioneered analytical applications of extractions in aqueous two-phase systems and the development of Solvent Interaction Analysis for quality control of biopharmaceuticals, and clinical testing for early detection of various malignancies. He has authored more than 170 research papers and reviews and one book, “Aqueous Two-Phase Partitioning: Physical Chemistry and Bioanalytical Applications”.Prof. Vladimir N. Uversky, PhD, DSc, FRSB, FRSC, F.A.I.M.B.E., Professor at the Department of Molecular Medicine, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida (USF), is a pioneer in the field of protein intrinsic disorder. He has made a number of groundbreaking contributions in the field of protein folding, misfolding, and intrinsic disorder. He obtained his PhD from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and D.Sc. from the Institute of Experimental and Theoretical Biophysics, Russian Academy of Sciences. Since 2010, Professor Uversky has worked at University of South Florida, where he works on various aspects of protein intrinsic disorder phenomenon and analysis of protein folding and misfolding processes. He has authored over 1250 scientific publications and edited several books and book series on protein structure, function, folding, misfolding, and intrinsic disorder. He also servs as an editor in a number of scientific journals.
