Dmitry S. Ushakov MD

Dmitry S. Ushakov is a research fellow at King's College London. His research is centered on understanding the fundamental principles governing immune cell motility, maintenance and interactions, which he investigates using advanced fluorescence microscopy technologies. Recently he established a novel automated 3D image processing method enabling multiparametric analysis of cells residing in tissues.

This approach was utilized for the Infection, Immunity and Immunophenotyping (3i) consortium where hundreds of mouse lines were screened revealing new genes involved in immune cell homeostasis. He now takes these findings forward to further investigate the role of the identified genes in the intraepithelial leukocyte biology.
