Research Assistant
I grew up in Western Kazakhstan, did my BSc in
Biology and my MSc in BioScience and Public Policy in Canada. My career in research started with an Honors
thesis project, for which I studied the gene expression of a poorly investigated
peptide family, relaxin peptides, in zebrafish. For my MSc, I studied the
molecular evolution of the relaxin peptides and their receptors in all
vertebrates using primarily bioinformatics tools.
At present, I’m involved in the development of
zebrafish husbandry protocols and research procedures in the Gilman Lab.
I like to travel and do swimming and running when
I get a chance.
