I am from Moscow, Russia. I got my first degree in Medical Physics in Moscow State University, Faculty of Physics. Doing my graduate research which was connected with brain injuries I decided to do my further studies in the field of neuroscience. Moreover cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain damage and regeneration became my main topic of interest. The project I am working on is connected with regeneration of glial cells of the brain. Our main goal is to figure out key molecules of this process to promote regeneration in the damaged nervous system. It will definitely lead to new approaches of treatment currently incurable diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Spastic cerebral palsy and others.
