• University: Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology
• Department: Center for Molecular and Cellular Biology
• Academic Rank: Professor

His research spans RNA biology, gene regulation, and cellular stress responses. Key projects include studying translation termination mechanisms, ribophagy, and mitochondrial RNA processing in transgenic models.

The Functional Genomics of RNA Lab under his leadership explores bacterial RNA-related counter-conflict systems and phenotypic consequences of gene knockouts (e.g., FLAD1, MKRN3).
