Prof Igor Konstantinov

Professor Igor Konstantinov has a high international standing as an academic surgeon in the field of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery. He has published over 200 research articles and several book chapters.

Professor Konstantinov holds a leadership position in design and planning of clinical and experimental research projects and grant applications. His research has been focused onto two areas: 1) Molecular biology of multi-organ protection against ischaemia-reperfusion and of rejection after heart transplantation and 2) Retrospective clinical studies of the outcomes of surgical management of children with congenital heart defects and heart failure. Projects in molecular biology are generally designed for PhD level, whereas retrospective clinical studies are suited for undergraduate students.
