Biography

I grew up in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine and at the age of 15, I was one of three students from the country to win a full scholarship to study A-level studies in the UK (HMC Projects 2017-2019).With an interest in molecular medicine, I decided to pursue BSc Biochemistry at the University of Bristol, where I was ranked as the best student (n>120) for three consecutive years.For my masters, I explored the intersection between genetics and data science at the University of Oxford where I was awarded a full-ride academic scholarship (Clarendon Scholarship). Throughout my studies, I developed a keen interest in biotechnology and enterprise..Nevertheless, as much as I am passionate about biotechnology, what I ultimately care about the most is people. After Russia invaded Ukraine, I have been leading various large-scale fundraising events and educational projects to support Ukraine.At Oxford, I became the Vice-President of the Ukrainian Society and together with friends raised over £150,000. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine by developing a strong biotech community there. In the future, I hope to establish incubators for rising start-ups and inspire the next generation of young scientists.
