About
I am experienced molecular and cell biologist with deep genetics background who worked many years in USA and Russia on the bench and as teacher. Both types of work had demanded extremely broad knowledge and understanding of developments in the fields. Participation in grant writing, editorial/reviewer work for scientific journals and consulting colleagues on these subjects added a lot to my broad experience as the scientist.
