Scientist | HIV & COVID-19 | Phylogeographic Analysis of Population-Scale Datasets | Computational Epidemiology

Profile Summary

Scientist working across computational biology, molecular epidemiology, and infectious disease, with twelve years spanning phylogenetic analysis, epidemiological research, and clinical practice. First-author publication in Nature Communications on SARS-CoV-2 T-cell immune escape in prolonged infection — the culmination of completed doctoral research at the Smorodintsev Research Institute of Influenza (2018–2021) on long-term COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients, accompanied by a series of peer-reviewed publications in 2020–2022. Ongoing PhD at Ariel University applies phylogenetic methods (IQ-TREE, Nextstrain, BEAST) to HIV epidemic dynamics and viral migration across ~5,500 sequences. Medical degree with infectious disease specialization provides ground-truth perspective on diagnostics and real-world data generation. 20+ peer-reviewed publications. Fluent in English and Russian, with direct knowledge of the Russian and CIS healthcare landscape.
