Biography
Igor F. Tsigelny is a Research Professor at the Department of Neurosciences and San Diego Supercomputer Center. He is a scientist at CureScience . He is a world-known expert in structural biology, molecular modeling, bioinformatics, and structure-based drug design. He has a Ph. D. in Physics of Macromolecules from the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He has been a postdoctoral fellow in the University of California in the laboratory of Susan S. Taylor in 1992-1995.
Dr. Tsigelny is the author of over 200 papers in scientific journals including the Nature and Science groups of journals, and Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of the USA. He wrote and edited 5 scientific books. The book “Protein Structure Prediction: Bioinformatic Approach” that he edited, has been called “The Bible of all current prediction techniques” by BioPlanet Bioinformatics Forums. He is a member of editorial boards of over 10 scientific journals.
Dr.Tsigelny has approximately 15 existing and pending patents. Two drug-candidates developed by Dr. Tsigelny for treatment of Parkinson’s disease and, brain cancer are licensed by UCSD to pharmaceutical companies and are in various stages of development His computational study of molecular mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease has been included in the US Department of Energy publication “Decade of Discovery” where the best computational studies of the first decade of XXI century were described. He is a cofounder of two companies: Neuropore and CureMatch. Currently he has 7900 citations in scientific publications.
