Background
I did my bachelors in zoology at Petrozavodsk State University, then moved to Bodø, Norway, for my master’s and PhD. My PhD project was focused on generating chromosome-level genome assembly of the white anglerfish Lophius piscatorius (monkfish) and quality annotation with an emphasis on immune-related genes.
Now I work as a PostDoc at Olivia Roth’s lab in Kiel, Germany, where I am involved in several projects on the evolution of immune systems, sex roles and sex-specific traits in syngnathids.
My research interests include but are not limited to:
- Parasitology
- Genome evolution
- Evolution of defense systems and strategies, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes
- Mitochondrial genomics
- RNA biology
- Viruses and selfish genetic elements as drivers of evolutionary transitions
- Gene loss – gene gain mechanisms
- Microbiology, especially extremophiles
