Dr. Roman Mezencev

Biography

Roman Mezencev is an adjunct associate professor in the School of Biological Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology and is a scientist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment. His research interests primarily include cancer biology, pharmacology, toxicogenomics, and protein misfolding diseases. His main focus is on utilizing omics data to identify new cancer subtypes through molecular profiling, which aids in enhancing diagnosis and treatment methodologies. Additionally, Mezencev investigates the use of omics data to predict and understand chemically-induced cancer adverse outcomes to protect public health. This includes exploring intriguing epidemiological associations and mechanistic connections between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, leading to the identification of shared risk factors and molecular mechanisms that may facilitate the development of new anti-cancer and anti-Alzheimer's disease drugs. His work is crucial in enhancing the understanding of complex diseases.
