Mykhaylo Artamonov currently works at the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics, University of Virginia. Mykhaylo does research in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Physiology. Current projects focus on a large family of RhoA Guanine Exchange Factors (GEFs) and how they provide a physiological link in smooth muscles to different G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Another area of research focus on RSK signaling and its ability to regulate myosin phosphatase activity; myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation and contractility
