Biography
Andrej Romanovsky, MD, PhD, is an integrative physiologist studying body temperature regulation and systemic inflammation. Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, Dr. Romanovsky was granted his MD with Distinction by the Ivan Pavlov Medical University (St. Petersburg) in 1984. He completed his pathophysiology residency in 1986 at the Pavlov Institute of Experimental Medicine of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences in St. Petersburg. In 1989, he received a PhD in physiology from the Institute of Physiology of the National Academy of Sciences (Minsk, Belarus) and at the age of 29 became the youngest Senior Scientist in the history of that institute.He also holds an Adjunct Professor appointment at the Arizona State University (ASU) School of Life Sciences and serves as a faculty member of the joint Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Neuroscience of the Barrow Neurological Institute and ASU. Dr. Romanovsky has published more than 100 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Dr. Romanovsky’s research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the State of Arizona, and a number of pharmaceutical companies and foundations.
