Biography
Valentin Trofimov has his expertise in high-content and high-throughput drug screening. He aims to help eradication of the threat of tuberculosis worldwide.Tuberculosis (TB) results in the death of millions of people every year. There is a growing threat because of the emergence of multidrug resistant strains. In order to achieve that goal, new effective drugs and efficient TB therapies need to be discovered. He focuses his effort on early drug discovery with a close look at hostpathogen interactions, since in vivo activities, such as intracellular host defense mechanisms, are largely overlooked in drug research.
