Anton V. Gorbachev, Ph.D.

Co-Director of CTL CRO Laboratory

Personal Statement
Immune monitoring allows to test the efficacy of new therapies and vaccines by evaluating the immune response of each individual patient/participant during the course of the treatment. Being a global leader of immune monitoring, CTL uses the most advanced approaches to test a wide variety of immune biomarkers such as cytokines, chemokines, cytolytic molecules and antibodies involved in the ensuing immune response. As a member of CTL CRO Management Team, my role is to ensure excellent work performance by the CRO laboratory to meet the high standards set by CTL.
