Brief Biography
Igor Lebedev was born in 1974. He was graduated with honours from the Tomsk State University, Department of Biology and Soil Science, Chair of Cytology and Genetics with a master's degree in Biology in 1998. From 1998 till 2001 I.N. Lebedev was a PhD student of the Research Institute of Medical Genetics under scientific supervising of Professor Sergey Nazarenko. Since 2001 he had been working as a researcher of the Laboratory of Cytogenetics, which he has been leading since 2005. I.N. Lebedev defended his PhD thesis in 2001 and a dissertation for the degree of a Doctor of Biological Sciences in specialty «Genetics» in 2008. Since 2015 he is the Deputy Director for Science of the Research Institute of Medical Genetics. Dr. Lebedev received the title of a Professor of RAS in 2016. Since 2020 he is the Deputy Director for Science of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center.
Research Interests
Basic studies of Prof. Lebedev are related to research of cytogenetics of human development, mechanisms of chromosomal abnormalities origin and investigation of its role in the pathogenesis of chromosomal diseases. Guided by Prof. Lebedev studies are concerned with the developing of molecular cytogenetic methods for diagnosis of chromosomal disorders and implementing such techniques into healthcare practices.
Prof. Lebedev is an author and co-author of more than 600 publications, including two editions of «National guideline: Hereditary diseases» (M.: GEOTAR-Media, 2012, 2017), monographs «Regenerative biology and medicine» (Omsk – Moscow – Tomsk, 2012, 2015, 2017), «Cytogenetic effects of radiation and chemical effects on a person» (Tomsk, 2014), «Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: Molecular basis of pathogenesis» (M.: Nauka, 2016), «Aneuploidy» (Karger, 2011), «Epigenetics and Epigenomics» (InTech, 2014), «Genetic information in practice» (Zagreb, 2016). Nine PhD and two Doctor’s degree theses were defended under scientific supervising of Prof. Lebedev.
Achievements, awards, and grants
Several Russian and international research projects focused on the analysis of human genome variability in intellectual disability, pregnancy loss, and oncological diseases were realized under the guidance of Prof. Lebedev. A number of novel chromosomal abnormalities in miscarriages have been described; molecular and cytogenetic mechanisms of chromosomal abnormalities origin during early stages of embryo development have been investigated; a classification of mosaic forms of chromosomal abnormalities has been introduced. The role of epigenetic mechanisms, like genomic imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation, in the pathogenesis of spontaneous and recurrent pregnancy loss was established. Advanced molecular technologies of prenatal and preimplantation genetic diagnostics of chromosomal diseases have been developed and implemented into the practice of national health-care system.
Prof. Lebedev had been a coordinator of the EU Seventh Framework Programme Project «Improving Diagnoses of Mental Retardation in Children in Central Eastern Europe and Central Asia Through Genetic Characterization and Bioinformatics/Statistics» from the Russian side, at which the role of copy number variations (CNV) in the aetiology of idiopathic intellectual disability has been investigated. A number of novel CNVs associated with intellectual development delay have been described. For the first time, cellular models of diseases based on induced pluripotent stem cells lines of patients with intellectual disability and chromosomal abnormalities have been designed.
A series of cytogenetic studies of workers in nuclear industry has been held under the guidance of Prof. Lebedev.
Prof. Lebedev participates in organization and realization of scientific studies with the support of national and international science foundations: the Russian Science Foundation, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, the Grant of the President of the Russian Federation, the Federal Aimed Programmes, the EU Seventh Framework Programme.
Prof. Lebedev is a Member of the Dissertation Council (D. 002.279.04).He is also a Member of the Academic Council of the Tomsk National Research Medical Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Academic Council of the Research Institute of Medical Genetics of TNRMC.
Prof. Lebedev is a Member of the Presidium of the Executive Board of the Russian Society of Medical Geneticists, a Member of the Vavilov’s Society of Geneticists and Breeders, the European Cytogeneticists Association, the European Society of Human Genetics, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. He is an expert of the Russian Science Foundation.
Prof. Igor Lebedev is a member of the Editorial Board of the Vavilov Journal of Genetics and Breeding and the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics.
Scientific achievements of Prof. Lebedev have been marked with Certificates of Merit of the Healthcare Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, the Tomsk Region Government, the Siberian Branch of RAMS, the Tomsk Scientific Centre of Siberian Branch of RAMS and professional associations. Prof. Lebedev was awarded the title of Laureate of the Tomsk Region in education, science, healthcare and culture in the nomination «Awards to scientific workers and teachers for significant individual impact in science and education development» in 2016.
