Main research interests

Research of structure-functional relationships in proteins.
Studying of a role of pro-sequence in formation of spatial structures and functioning of molecules of neurotrophin; effect of neurotrophin and proneurotrophin on regulation of calcium homeostasis of neurons. It is for the first time shown that recombinant human proNT-3 has impact on a calcium homeostasis of neurons of a brain.
Research of mechanisms of an expression of foreign DNA in eukaryotic systems. Creation of new vectors for an effective expression of target genes in eukaryotic systems.


Teaching activities

2008 - present: the assistant, department of biotechnology and industrial pharmacy faculty of Biotechnologies of organic synthesis of MITHT of M. V. Lomonosov.
