Pedagogical activities
I am guarantor of the teaching of study subjects aimed on plant breeding. Simultaneously I participate in the teaching of subjects aimed on general genetics, molecular genetics and cytology. My Bachelor's and Master's students solving themes oriented to the application of molecular DNA analysis of plants and phytopathogenes.
Research activities
I cooperate with leading crop research institutes as a co-investigator of research projects focused on the application of molecular analysis of DNA into the breeding of agriculturally important plant species, conservation of genetic resources and phytopathological diagnostics.
International experiences
In 2008 I attended a workshop organized by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences focused on the molecular detection of important pathogens of potato, as PSTVd, CMS, PVS, etc. The workshop was held in Harbin, capital of North China province Heilongjiang and attended by 15 experts from 5 countries in total.
