Kirill Korneev is a Senior Researcher at the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences. He received his Ph.D. in Immunology from Moscow State University in 2018. His research focuses on B-cell immunology, with particular emphasis on regulatory B cells, immune regulation in cancer and autoimmune diseases, and the molecular mechanisms controlling immune-cell function. His current work investigates regulatory and dysfunctional B-cell states in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell signaling and immunometabolism, and interactions between B cells and other components of the immune microenvironment. His broader research interests include transcriptional regulation of immune responses, non-coding regulatory elements, and functional genomics.
