Dr. Ivan Pavlov graduated from Rostov-on-Don State University in 1995. He has got his Ph.D. in physiology in 1998 and shortly after joined the group of Dr. Tomi Taira (Department of Biosciences, University of Helsinki) and worked in close collaboration with Prof. Heikki Rauvala (Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, Finland). Since 2002 Dr. Pavlov has been working in the newly created Neuroscience Center in Helsinki. Dr. Pavlov studied the role of extracellular matrix associated proteins in hippocampal plasticity and mechanisms that regulate development and plasticity of neuronal connections in the brain. In 2005 Dr. Ivan Pavlov moved to the Institute of Neurology (University College London, UK) to study the role of tonically active GABA(A) receptors in normal brain function and disease. Dr. Pavlov is an individual expert in the Tempus Project JEP_25026_2004 and provides expertise on the mechanisms of neurotransmission and synaptic physiology in the cellular and molecular neuroscience module. He also is a founder of the www.neuroscience.ru web-site and contributes to the development of internet support of the Project and dissemination of the Project results among Russian neuroscience community.
