He worked at the Department of Animal Biochemistry at the MSU Faculty of Biology (1973-1982).

In 1982, at the invitation of Yevgeniy Chazov organized the laboratory of Molecular Endocrinology in the newly organized Cardiology Research Center of Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR.

Since 1987, parallel to the charge of the Department of Biochemistry functional biopolymers at MSU Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology named Andrey Belozersky.

He defended his doctoral thesis on «The biochemical mechanisms of regulation of the adenylate cyclase system of the heart» (1986).

Tkachuk was awarded the academic rank of Professor (1988).

He organized in the MSU Faculty of Fundamental Medicine department of biological and medicinal chemistry, and which is headed. He is also head of the Laboratory of gene and cell technologies (1992).

Scientific achievements
Vsevolod Tkachuk set of mechanisms Hypersensitivity and heterologous desensitization coupled with G protein Sensory receptor, explained the concept of change of the function Cell membrane receptors and intracellular regulatory stages in the development of a number of Cardiovascular disease, developed and implemented the practice of molecular and physiological methods of assessing tissue sensitivity to the hormone and drugs.

The first opened a new receptor Lipoprotein, named T-cadherin. This receptor is responsible for the regulation of growth Blood vessel and implementation of "hormone-" action on vascular cells and Blood through intracellular signaling system.

Under his leadership, the molecular mechanisms and physiological remodeling of blood vessels have been installed, shows the key role Urokinase in the direction of the cells, developed and put into practice genetic and cellular approaches to the regulation of growth and blood vessel function.

Among the students Vsevolod Tkachuk 8 doctors and 36 candidates of sciences.

Vsevolod Tkachuk is the author and co-author of 240 scientific papers, three monographs and two textbooks.
