Freidlin

Freidlin Irina Solomonovna born 1936, graduated from the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute named by I.P.Pavlov in 1959, doctor of medical sciences (1976), professor of microbiology, virology and immunology (1989). The honored scientist of the Russian Federation
(1997). From 1991 - chairman of the Department of immunology of the Institute of experimental medicine RAMS, at the same time - professor at the Department of microbiology, virology and immunology of St.-Petersburg State Pavlov Medical University.

I.S.Freidlin is the author of 210 published scientific works (162 of them in co-authorship), including 4 monographs (3 in co-authorship), 4 manuals (3 in co-authorship), a reference book (in co-authorship) and 2 textbooks (both in co-authorship). I.S.Freidlin has made 4 inventions and is the holder of 2 patents.

Her main research interests include studying the problems of fundamental, infectious, clinical and ecological immunology. Freidlin I.S. is the leading domestic expert on mononuclear phagocytes system. She showed that macrophages and proinflammatory cytokines play a dual role in anti-infectious defense: they may both fulfill protective functions and take part in alteration. I.S.Freidlin first showed the possibility of purposeful regulation of macrophage function. She detected short peptide sequences, contained in the structures of natural bioregulators, including proinflammatory cytokines, which mimiced activating effects of the whole molecules.

In joint research project with clinicians she offered pathogenetically based approaches to the choice of immunological tests and interpretation of their results. She developed new methods, which can be used for the estimation of the functional activity of blood monocytes from patients with different diseases. She also showed high self-descriptiveness of the assessment of cytokine status.

I.S.Freidlin research works in ecological immunology identified parts of the immune system most sensitive to the influence of adverse factors: aggressive gases and ionizing radiation.
I.S.Freidlin has been a supervisor of 6 doctoral and 26 "candidate" dissertations.

I.S.Freidlin is a vice-president of St.-Petersburg branch of Russian scientific society of immunologists, a member of a steering committee of the Russian scientific society of immunologists and a member of editorial boards of scientific journals "Immunology", «Russian Journal of Immunology» and "Allergology".
