Olena Severynovska
Her professional journey has been spanned from Junior Research Fellow to Dean and Professor of the Faculty of Biology and Ecology, with a focus on human and animal physiology. In 1991, she received her degree in Biology and entered postgraduate studies. In 2000, she defended her PhD thesis on "Spinal Mechanisms of the Phenomenon of Active Rest in Humans." In 2008, she defended her Doctoral dissertation on "Adaptive-Compensatory Reactions of the Body Under the Influence of Ecopathogenic Factors." She is a member of the Ukrainian Physiological Society. She has received personal grants from an international organization for the ''Community Connection'' training in the USA and from Professor Joanna Vysotskaya for work at the Department of Chemical and Systems Biology at the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Stanford, USA, which allowed her to enhance her scientific and pedagogical qualifications in the United States.
Her scientific interests include the physiology of the cardiovascular system, mechanisms of attention, learning, memory, CNS adaptation to stress, behavior, and cognition. She is proficient in modern molecular, biochemical, and electrophysiological methods of analysis and methods for studying behavioral reactions.
