Lusine Yuriki Sahakyan

Lusine Yuriki Sahakyan is an Assistant Professor at Yerevan State University's Institute of Pharmacy, Department of Biomedical Sciences, with expertise in asymmetric synthesis of non-protein α-amino acids and instrumental analysis methods (HPLC, GC, MS, IR). She holds a Candidate of Sciences degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and has collaborated internationally with institutions like the University of Naples Federico II and CNR Italy.

• Education: Candidate of Sciences (2021), Yerevan State University
• Advisor: Professor Ashot S. Saghyan (President of NAS of Armenia)

Her research focuses on developing asymmetric synthesis pathways for bioactive heterocyclic amino acid derivatives and studying their antioxidant/membrane-protective properties. She applies advanced chromatographic techniques for qualitative/quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical compounds, including antidiabetic additives and nifedipine.

Recent publications show interdisciplinary trends in organic synthesis, biochemical applications, and environmental biotechnology. Her work spans from designing chiral Ni(II) complexes for stereoselective reactions to optimizing biohydrogen production using industrial waste.

• Key collaborations: Italian National Research Council (CNR), Armenian Ministry of Health
• Professional memberships: Scientific Council of Institute of Pharmacy (2021-present), Ethics Committee for Clinical Drug Research (2018-2024)
