About
Elena V. Proskurnina is a leading researcher in biophysics and redox biology, with a particular focus on the role of oxidative stress and antioxidant systems in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. Her work bridges molecular biochemistry and clinical neuroscience, exploring how physiological markers—such as salivary oxytocin and antioxidative responses—can illuminate the biological underpinnings of social and sensory processing. In her highly cited 2023 study on adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), she demonstrated that robotic touch can modulate both oxytocin levels and antioxidant capacity, offering a novel, non-invasive window into the altered tactile processing and hypersensitivity characteristic of ASD. This work, which has garnered early recognition with 5 citations, exemplifies her innovative approach to linking sensory interventions with measurable biochemical outcomes. Proskurnina’s research is pivotal for developing biomarker-driven therapies and understanding the intersection of redox status, neuropeptide signaling, and social behavior. Her contributions are shaping how we assess and support individuals with autism, making her a key voice in translational biophysics and personalized neuropsychiatry.
