SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

Previous: SINE and non-LTR retrotransposons - evolution, mechanisms of distribution and regulation of transposition, phylogeny of endemic species flocks in ancient lakes, especially Baikal. Now: molecular-biological topics in Neuroscience, especially cascades of signal transduction involved in the regulation of neuronal activity.
