Andrej Romanovsky, MD, PhD, is an integrative physiologist studying body temperature regulation and systemic inflammation. Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, Dr. Romanovsky was granted his MD with Distinction by the Ivan Pavlov First Medical School (St. Petersburg) in 1984. He completed his pathophysiology residency in 1986 at the Pavlov Institute of Experimental Medicine of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences in St. Petersburg.
In 1989, he received a PhD in physiology from the Institute of Physiology of the National Academy of Sciences (Minsk, Belarus) and at the age of 29 became the youngest Senior Scientist in the history of that institute.

He joined St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix in December of 1999 to direct the Systemic Inflammation Laboratory (FeverLab), a part of the Trauma Research program. Dr. Romanovsky also serves as a faculty member of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and the Graduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Arizona State University and holds an Adjunct Professor appointment at the ASU School of Life Sciences.
Dr. Romanovsky has published more than 80 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including Pharmacological Reviews, PLoS Biology, Blood, Progress in Lipid Research, Clinical Infectious Diseases, The FASEB Journal, and The Journal of Neuroscience. He has served as an Associate Editor, Invited/Guest Editor, and Board Member for eleven professional journals. He has served on study sections and reviewed grant applications for the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Medical Research Council (UK), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Dutch Research Council, the National Research Foundation (South Africa), the government of Hong Kong, and other agencies. Dr. Romanovsky has been a member of the Thermal Physiology Section of the International Union of Physiological Sciences since 2004. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the State of Arizona, and a number of foundations and pharmaceutical companies.
