Andrey Bednov, Ph.D.

Quality-driven team player with accuracy-focused and efficient approach, offering 30 years of scientific/preclinical research expertise.

Knowledgeable laboratory professional working as associate research scientist (radiation counter measures) at Lovelace Biomedical. Having skills and extensive experimental experience in radiation studies and development of irradiation animal models to study the post irradiation effect in different animal species.

Being focused on worker wellness and safety, my first priority was to maintain safe environment by monitoring radiation exposure times and prescribed safe levels of radiation. Paying a special attention to accuracy when calculating nuclear radiation dose delivered to experimental animals. Proficient in educating personnel in radiation safety procedures, including protective clothing and equipment use.

Adept at leading scientific teams and pioneering biomedical engineering solutions, I significantly advanced NIR spectroscopy imaging technique for blood flow monitoring in cranial blood vessels conducted at Baylor College of Medicine and Medical School of Texas Tech University. My expertise in noninvasive laser diagnostics, laser optoacoustics, and microscopy (electron, fluorescent, confocal, and laser-Doppler), and optical coherence tomography coupled with a knack for securing grant funding, has consistently propelled groundbreaking studies at University of Texas Medical Branch and Saratov State University.
