Oleg N. Antzutkin is Professor in Chemistry of Interfaces at LTU (since 2006) and also Professorial Fellow (since 2008) at the University of Warwick, UK. After B.Sc.(Hon) and M.Sc. degrees in Chemical Physics at Novosibirsk State University, Russia, in 1990 he moved to Sweden as a research fellow. He received his licentiate of technology degree (in 1992) in the field of ESR spectroscopy under supervision of Prof. Anders Lund at University of Linköping. He has received Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1996, solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy, under supervision of Prof. Malcolm H. Levitt. He spent one-year sabbatical (1998-1999) at NIH, USA (host Robert Tycko). During this time he engaged a new highly successful project at NIH and together with Tycko and co-workers have solved supramolecular-level structure of Alzheimer’s amyloid fibrils using novel solid-state NMR methods. Only five papers from this period were already cited more than 2000 times. One of recent achievements of his group at LTU in collaboration with Warwick University is the development of novel 15N{17O}-REAPDOR NMR methodology to probe hydrogen bonding in amyloid fibrils and other biologically important systems: These results were reported in Angewandte Chemie International Edition in 2012. He has published >125 articles in refereed scientific journals, a few chapters in books and received a number of prizes. ‘h’-index>25, number of citations > 3462 (2013-05-22) (ISI web of sciences), conference contributions: 61 (28 invited talks).Oleg N.
