Dr. Modyanov received his PhD in from the Shemyakin- Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Moscow, Russia in 1973, where he subsequently was doing research for 25 years. He was a Head of Laboratory of Membrane Biochemistry since1986. In 1994 he joined the University of Toledo College Of Medicine as Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology. He is a member of the Center for Diabetes and Endocrine Research. He has published many articles.

For over 30 years his research has focused on the molecular aspects of the ion-transporting X, K-ATPases (Na,K- and H, K-ATPases): receptors for cardiotonic and anti-ulcer drugs. He resently discovered   the unique BetaM proteins encoded by ATP1B4 genes, members of X, K-ATPase gene family. 

Dr. Modyanov’s research interest includes

• Gene co-option
• Placental mammals development
