Dr. Alexei Kondratyev serves as Chief of the Integrative and Cognitive Neurosciences Review Branch (ICN RB).
Dr. Alexei Kondratyev received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the Institute of Molecular Biology in Moscow, Russia, and did postdoctoral training first at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and then in the Department of Radiation Medicine, Georgetown University Medical Center. Dr. Kondratyev later joined the faculty of Georgetown University, where he served as associate professor of pediatrics and pharmacology and headed the Laboratory of Pediatric Epilepsy Research. His research -- supported by numerous federal, foundation and industry grants -- focused on the molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration and neuroprotection, neuronal DNA damage and repair, neurotrophic factors, animal models of acute neuronal injury, and the developmental effects of antiepileptic drugs.
