Alexander Rusinov

Immunology enjoyer based in Yerevan, Moscow State University alumnus. I research pathogenic T-cells and the mystery of cancer immune microenvironment, bridging immunotherapies, machine learning, and structural biology to unlock novel modalities.

About me

At 11, I joined a schoolchildren’s ornithology club and spent countless hours studying birds. I observed behaviors, identified species, and explored ecosystems in the field. That early curiosity about living systems ignited my passion for biology.

As a teenager, I competed in multiple national and international olympiads in biology, chemistry, and related fields. I tackled rigorous exams, practical challenges, and earned recognition while sharpening my scientific thinking.

At 16, I discovered immunology: the elegant system our bodies use to prevent disease, yet one that can turn against us and cause it. It is a perfectly balanced guardian that becomes a ticking time bomb when dysregulated. That duality became my ultimate obsession.

The same year, I launched a biology and chemistry meme page that grew to 250k followers.

This passion led me to Moscow State University, where I immersed myself in immunology research in Dr. Grigory Efimov’s lab, including deep work on T-cell repertoire analysis. Under extreme constraints, I contributed to establishing Russia’s first CAR-T pipeline, turning theoretical insights into manufacturable, real-world therapies.

Today, at BostonGene (Yerevan branch), I apply bioinformatics and machine learning to immunology and novel cancer therapies.

I’m still on that journey: building, learning, and chasing the impact that turns science into lives saved.
