Volpina O.M graduated from the Moscow State University Department of Chemistry in 1972. Since 1972 is working in Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Boorganic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1981 the degree of Ph.D. was conferred for the work “Synthetic studies of α-bungarotoxin. Synthesis of protected 74-member peptide with sequence of α-bungarotoxin and its deprotection” In 1993 the degree of Doctor of Chemistry was conferred for the work “The theoretical and practical approaches to creation of artificial vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease on the basis of synthetic peptides”. Beginning from 1990 Volpina is a head of the Laboratory of Synthetic Vaccines. In 2005 title of Professor was conferred. Volpina was scientific supervision of 7 PhD degrees. Volpina has published over 50 original contributions in refereeing journals.

Scientific interests
Peptide synthesis; total synthesis of snake venom polypeptide bungarotoxin; investigation of antiviral, antibacterial and antipeptide immune response; mimicking the antiviral and antibacterial immune response by synthetic peptides (tick-borne encephalitis and foot-and-mouth disease viruses, Neisseria meningitides); creation of antiviral and antibacterial peptide vaccines; synthetic immunoactive fragments of endogenous proteins (nucleophosmin, survivin, prion and α-7 subunit of acetylcholine receptor) for immunodiagnostics of tumor and immunotherapy of neurodegenerative diseases.
