Alexander Ryvkin

Alexander Ryvkin graduated from Ural State University (Ekaterinburg, Russia) with a M.Sc. in theoretical physics and a PhD in theoretical biophysics. His early career included significant research at the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he focused on the theoretical aspects of cardiac pacemaker cells, ranging from submolecular to cellular levels.

As an assistant professor at Ural Federal University in Ekaterinburg, he taught courses on Biophysics and Mathematical Modeling in Biology. He is a member of the International Biophysical Society and has participated in numerous international conferences.

Alexander has experience in the experimental study of neuronal electric activity, which he pursued at Ben-Gurion University in Beer Sheba, Israel.

Scientific activity in 2024

At IMBM, he is involved in the project “Glycolysis in COVID-19” where he is developing a mathematical model of cellular metabolism during viral infection. This project involves modeling alveolar cell infection and viral replication processes using patient data in collaboration with IMBM.
