Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Vasily N. Dobrovolsky's research program investigates the detection and characterization of mutagenicity in biological systems, with a focus on employing advanced sequencing technologies. His work utilizes high-fidelity (HiFi) and PacBio sequencing to identify ultra-low-frequency substitution mutations, a critical advancement for understanding the effects of chemical mutagens in vivo and in vitro.

Dobrovolsky has published on the application of these genomic techniques to assess the mutagenic potential of compounds such as Molnupiravir and N4-hydroxycytidine. He also studies mutational signatures in specific cell types, such as T-lymphocytes in rats treated with nitrosourea and procarbazine. His research extends to establishing neural stem cell cultures from primate brains for neurotoxicity testing, indicating a broader interest in developing and applying methods for toxicological evaluation.

His collaborative network includes several colleagues at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Page B. McKinzie, Javier R. Revollo, Jaime A. Miranda, and Robert H. Heflich, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Dobrovolsky's scholarly output is marked by an h-index of 29, with over 100 publications and 2,500 citations, and he is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
