Tatyana Zhukov, Ph.D.
Founder
Dr. Zhukov has over 25 years experience in Experimental & Clinical Biochemistry and collaborative research on the nanotechnology approaches for early cancer detection. From 1993 while working at the John K. Frost Center for Imaging of Cells and Molecular Markers of the Johns Hopkins University on the early detection of lung cancer, she gained valuable experience regarding searching and evaluation of lung cancer biomarkers, development of new approaches involving proteomics and molecular imaging, cell image analysis, and the creation of new platforms for cancer biomarkers validation.
For over 15 years Dr. Zhukov held a joint appointments in the Moffitt Cancer Center and in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology in the College of Medicine at the University of South Florida. Dr. Zhukov had served as PI and Co-PI on several federal research grants, she is trained in clinical biochemistry and cytology, and has worked for the last years to apply these skills in the development of molecular markers for human cancer.

Personal Statement
I am a board certified Cytopathology Scientist with additional specialty training in Cell Biology and early cancer detection methodologies. My research focus is on the development of novel molecular markers and testing for human cancer for integration into clinical practice. In recent years my research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and development of biomarkers to predict metastatic disease, and assess cancer therapies response. Special research and clinical interest I see in development of reliable methodologies for the detection of an active Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) in bloodstream and assessment of CTC metastatic potential with a major focus on improving cancer patient’ survival.
On a personal note, I have witnessed suffering and health complications on some members of my family and friends due to the different disease progression including weight gain, diabetes, memory loss, and cancer. I believe disease prevention strategy may significantly help to keep body in a good shape and health conditions. Among valuable points on a way for disease prevention are consumption of health supplements, i.e. vitamins, minerals, weight loss products among others. This is true for all ages and may be beneficial for our children to grow healthy and happy!
