Overview


I got my B.Sc. + M.Sc. in Novosibirsk State University (Novosibirsk, Russia) in chemistry in 2006 and my PhD in chemistry (specialization:biochemistry) in Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia) in 2011.
  In 20012-2022 I was occupying position of researcher in Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia), that time my research was focused on enzymology of base excision repair (BER) enzymes, evaluation of BER proteins as potential targets for anti-pathogen and anti-cancer therapy and also developing of BER enzymes based artificial endonuclease and usage of BER enzymes for biotechnology. At the end of 2022 I decided to leave Russia by political reasons and started a postdoc associate position in Duke University.
  My current research interests are cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) single-particle protein structural analysis and use of Cryo-EM for elucidation of folding and refolding mechanisms of proteins in particular.
