About Polina V. Lishko, Ph.D.

The Lishko Lab, led by Professor Polina V. Lishko at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, focuses on the molecular mechanisms of bioactive lipid signaling and ion channel regulation. Their research encompasses several key areas:​

  • Ion Channels in Sperm Cells: Identifying regulatory elements that influence sperm motility, aiming to improve diagnostics and treatments for male infertility. ​
  • Steroid Hormones and Ovarian Aging: Studying the impact of steroid hormones on female reproductive aging and associated health issues such as cardiovascular problems, age-related vision loss, and migraines.
  • Bioactive Lipid Signaling in the Choroid Plexus: Exploring how lipid signaling affects brain function, particularly in the context of aging. ​

Through these research endeavors, the Lishko Lab aims to advance understanding in reproductive biology and neurodegeneration, contributing to the development of innovative treatments for related health conditions
