Areas of research and interests

• dynamic antitumor drugs from the group of chemically modified oligonucleotides, tannins and peptides;
• development of dynamic antiviral drugs with a new mechanism of action - inhibitors of the nuclear import signal (β-importin inhibitors)
• chemical modification of viral and microbial antigens to increase their adjuvant properties for the development of oral and transdermal dynamic vaccines
• study of a new class of irregular chemically modified biopolymers (irregular acylated cyclodextrins) with antiviral and antimicrobial activity (quasi-living self-organizing dynamic pharmaceutical systems and formulations);
• quasi-living self-organizing drugs (dynamic drugs) for the treatment of cancer and viral infections drugs from the group of molecular robots (dynamic self-organizing drugs)
