Vladimir Katanaev's research focuses on fundamental and translational aspects of oncogenic signaling pathways, particularly the Wnt/Frizzled signaling pathway. This pathway plays a crucial role in organism development and the regulation of stem cell proliferation, tissue regeneration, and synapse formation. Katanaev's studies have revealed that misactivation of this pathway is significantly linked to various cancers, including those of the colon, breast, and liver. His laboratory is actively engaged in discovering novel components of the Wnt pathway as potential drug targets, striving to establish new paradigms in drug discovery against oncogenic processes. Furthermore, his research encompasses analysis of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) and their signal transduction mechanisms. With innovative approaches that range from basic research to clinical applications, Katanaev also investigates biological nanocoatings with potential applications in ophthalmology and medical devices.
