OccupationResearcher

Alexei Kharitonenkov (Russian: Алексей Игоревич Харитоненков) is a Russian-American researcher best known for his discoveries of endocrine functions of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) and its prospects in developing novel therapies for metabolic diseases.[1] Likewise, his lines of study on the structure and functions of Signal-Regulatory Proteins (SIRPs),[2] and on protein-tyrosine phosphatases,[3] and their roles in the pathophysiology of cancer have been highlighted by reviewers in the corresponding fields.[4][5][6][7]

Education

In 1985, Kharitonenkov graduated with a MS in Physics from Moscow State University (MSU), Moscow, Russia.[8] In 1990, he received a PhD degree in Biochemistry from MSU,[9] followed by post-doctoral fellowship trainings in molecular biology and signal transduction at Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry, Martinsried, Germany (1992-1994).[10]

Career

Since 1986 to 1992 he was a research fellow at Biochemistry Department, Biology Faculty, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia.[8][9][11] Between 1994–1998 he was a staff scientist at the Molecular Biology department of Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry, Martinsried, Germany.[2][10][12][13][14][15] He joined Eli Lilly and Company until 2014,[16] when he moved to Calibrium; LLC;[17] upon acquisition of this company,[18] he joined Novo Nordisk USA in 2016.[19][20] More recently, Kharitonenkov has been an executive and/or founder of startups within the biopharmaceutical field, [21][22] where he has also been an inventor.[23]

He has authored more than 100 peer reviewed papers, most of them studying aspects of signal transduction, molecular biology, pharmacology, drug discovery and development in the areas of cancer and metabolic diseases.[24] He is also a contributing author to chapters of review books on endocrine FGFs and metabolism,[25] and FGF21 as a therapeutic agent.[26] In 1997 and 2005 he contributed to priming articles describing structures and functions of SIRPs [2] and FGF21.[27]
