Vadim N. Gladyshev

Vadim N. Gladyshev is a professor at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital[1] and an expert and pioneer in antioxidant/redox biology. He is known for his characterization of the human selenoprotein encoded by 25 genes.[2] He has conducted studies on whether organisms can acquire cellular damage from their food;[3] the role selenium plays as a micro-nutrient with significant health benefits;[4] In 2013 he won the NIH Pioneer Award.[5]
