Dr. Allan V. Kalueff graduated with the M.S. degree in physiology from Moscow State University in 1994, and received PhD degree in physiology from RUDN University, Russia, studying psychopharmacology of beta-lactam compounds in rats. In 2005, he was also awarded Ph.D. degree with honors [top 5%] in anatomy from Tampere University, Finland, for the discovery of multiple neural phenotypes of VDR knockout mice. In 1995-1996, he was academic research scientist in Bristol and Birmingham Universities (UK). Between 1997 and 2003, he worked in several research centers worldwide, developing animal models for high-throughput behavioral phenotyping research. Invited by the Finnish Government in 2003, Dr. Kalueff joined, as a Unit Leader, Tampere University to study brain dysfunctions associated with abnormal neurosteroid vitamin D system. In 2005, Dr. Kalueff joined the National Institute of Mental Health, NIH, USA, where his research was aimed at modeling complex neuropsychiatric disorders associated with serotonin dysregulation, with a particular focus on genetic animal models of pathogenetic interplay between emotional and affective disorders. His work led to establishing the first genetic animal model of serotonin syndrome, and put forth the new "domain interplay" concept of biological psychiatry. In 2008, he joined, as a visiting Assistant Professor, the department of Physiology and Biophysics of Georgetown University, and in 2009 was appointed a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Tulane University Medical School. Dr. Kalueff is on editorial boards of 5 international journals, and authored more than 100 papers and 12 books in the field of neuroscience and biological psychiatry. His works are cited in more that 800 publications, with an H-index of 18, and G-index of 26, as of March 2010. He served as Director of Center for Physiology and Biochemical Research, Kiev, in 1996-2003, and since 1997 has chaired 12 International annual “Stress and Behavior” neuroscience conferences and two international Summer Schools for young neuroscientists. He has received a number of prestigious scientific awards, including the Presidential Scientific Prize, two Graduate fellowships from the International Science Foundation, Medal for Steroid Research, Yaroslav Mudry Medal, and Young Investigator awards from ESF, EVO, ECNP, IUPS, WFSBP, NARSAD, as well 2009 Tulane Provost's Scholarly Enrichment Fellowship, Newcomb Fellows 2010 Grant and LA Board of Regents PFund Grant. Dr Kalueff is a member of IBRO, FENS, WFSBP, IBANGS, IBNS, APS, GSA and SfN. He is a member of the Animal Use/Ethics committee of IBNS (International Behavioral Neuroscience Society) and a member of the Governing Council of WFSBP (World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry). Dr. Kalueff is a Guest Editor of the special 2010 Issue of Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry.
