Research Engineer, Graduate Student
Education:
In 2023, she successfully graduated from Perm State National Research University with a Bachelor's degree in the 06.03.01 Biology program, profile "Experimental Biology". She graduated with honors.
In 2023, she enrolled in the Master's degree program at Sirius University, specializing in Plant Genetics and Biotechnology. In 2025, she successfully defended her final qualifying thesis and received a diploma with honors.
In 2025, she entered the postgraduate program of the Federal State Budgetary Budgetary Institution VNIISHM. The main purpose of the dissertation research will be to study the role of peptides of the GASA family and mitogen-activated protein kinases in regulating the development of symbiosis between legumes and nodule bacteria.
Research interests: molecular biology, legume-rhizobial symbiosis, CRISPR/Cas9 primary-editing technology.
