Director of the Institute, Doctor of Biological Sciences
Viktor Evgenievich Tsyganov is a well–known specialist in the field of genetics, plant physiology and agricultural microbiology, whose work is widely known abroad. Tsyganov V.E.'s research contributed to the development of a new priority area of research – symbiogenetics, aimed at translating fundamental knowledge about the molecular genetic mechanisms of interaction between plants and microorganisms into the creation of new plant-microbial systems for environmentally oriented agriculture. Pioneering results have been obtained on changes in the architectonics of a plant cell necessary for its successful colonization by beneficial microorganisms.
The theoretical foundations for the creation of highly efficient plant-microbial systems resistant to stress have been developed for use in the practice of modern agriculture.
Tsyganov V.E. conducts active teaching work, being the chairman of the GEC at the Department of Genetics and Biotechnology of St. Petersburg State University, a member of the working group on improving the training of highly qualified personnel in the field of genetic technologies at the Presidium of the Council for the Implementation of the Federal State Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Genetic Technologies for 2019-2027, 4 PhD theses were defended under his leadership.
V.E. Tsyganov was deputy chairman of the Dissertation Council of the BIN RAS 24.1.002.02 (until 2023), is the head of the ARRIAM AWCSC "Agrotechnologies of the Future", an expert of the Russian Academy of Sciences, an expert of megagrants of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
V.E. Tsyganov is a member of the editorial board of Plant Physiology, a guest editor in the journals Agronomy, Plants, Frontiers in Plant Science.
Head of grants of the RFBR, RGNF.
