Ivan Kushkevych is a microbiologist who got his Ph.D. degree in
Microbiology in 2010. His PhD thesis was entitled: “Influence of
heavy metals salts on physiological and biochemical characteristics
of the sulfur cycle bacteria. He also has received a Degree of
Doctor of Biological Sciences (Dr.Sc.) in Microbiology (2016). He
obtained a second Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology in
2021. His Ph.D. thesis was entitled: Testing the cytotoxicity and
biological effects of salicylamide derivatives against intestinal
sulfate-reducing bacteria.
Dr. Kushkevych did several research internships at the Laboratory
of Molecular Biology at Institute Pharmacological Research Mario
Negri (2013, Milan, Italy), and other research laboratories at
University of Valencia (2018), University of Barcelona, Spain
(2020, 2021, 2022), University of Agriculture in Krakow, Poland
(2021).
Dr. Kushkevych’s research focuses on the physiological and
biochemical features of sulfate-reducing microorganisms and their
functional role in the development of bowel diseases in both humans
and animals. He is a single author of the book entitled:
“Intestinal Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (2017), and the author in
several chapters of other books, among them: “Sulfate Source and
Its Role in the Development of Colitis of the book: “Colitis:
Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment, Nova Science Publishers, Inc.,
Hauppauge, New York, United States (2019); “Isolation and
Purification of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria of the book:

Scientific Perspective, Elsevier Academic Press (2022).
The author worked previously at the Department of Human
Pharmacology and Toxicology at University of Veterinary and
Pharmaceutical Sciences (Brno, Czech Republic) and currently works
as an Associate Professor at the Department of Experimental Biology
(Section of Microbiology), Faculty of Science at Masaryk
University. He teaches: General Microbiology, Bacterial Physiology
and Biochemistry, Cytology and Morphology of Bacteria.
