Background

B.S., Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk, Russia

M.S., New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM

Ph.D., New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM

Dr. Krasnoslobodtsev joined the Department of Physics at UNO in August of 2014 where he is currently an Associate Professor. Dr. Krasnoslobodtsev teaches General Physics and specialized courses of Biomedical Physics concentration. Dr. Krasnoslobodtsev's passion is doing research in the field of single-molecule biophysics. He improves and utilizes single-molecule biophysical techniques to primarily answer fundamental questions related to the malfunctioning of DNA-protein and protein-protein systems. Dr. Krasnoslobodtsev's laboratory currently has a Tethered Particle Motion setup, Single-molecule Fluorescence, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence, and Raman spectrometer used to study the effects of Enhanced Raman Scattering and utilize these effects for biomedical applications. 

 

Teaching

Primary teaching interests are in Biological and Medical Physics.

Courses taught:

Physical Pharmacy (Basics of Thermodynamics)

Gateway to Physics (Biological and Medical Physics)

Nanoimaging and Bioimaging (Single-molecule biophysical methods)

PHYS 1110 – General Physics I with Algebra

Teaching statement: Dr. Krasnoslobodtsev strives to create a challenging and positive classroom environment that stimulates learning and student engagement. 

Research Interests

Dr. Krasnoslobodtsev’s research interests lie at the interface of nanotechnology, biology, and physics. His research program uses principles of these disciplines to answer fundamental questions of biology that can facilitate early diagnostics and effective therapeutic solutions. Specific examples of the research projects are: single-molecule studies of molecular mechanisms of protein misfolding phenomenon and protein-protein interactions; a combination of nanoimaging and nanomanipulation with spectroscopic techniques and the development of hybrid biosensing nano-platforms with high sensitivity.
