Biography
she was received my Honors M.Sc. degree from the Kazakh State University, and my PhD degree from the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. At that time I investigated the phenol compounds degradation by peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase. Later, I have worked on the production of ELISA-based virus testing kits, and the introduction of virus-free potato seeds technology for the Ministry of Agriculture in Kazakhstan. I have worked in the Dept. of Endocrinology, Pharmacology of the McGill University since 1998 and in 2008 I have joined the Faculty of Dentistry. The subject of my investigation was the biological activity of progranulin and the haemopoetic activity of trombospondin on the erythroid precursor cells, as well as the activation of the corresponding cell signaling pathways. In Dr. Komarova's lab I will concentrate on the effects of proliferating blood cells on bone remodeling.
