I’m Alexander — and life sciences have been my lifelong journey.
At 11, I joined a schoolchildren’s ornithology club and spent countless hours studying birds — observing behaviors, identifying species, and exploring 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 — tackling rigorous exams, practical challenges, and earning 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: 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 (MSU), 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 firs CAR-T pipeline — turning theoretical insights into manufacturable, real-world therapies.
Today, at BostonGene (Yerevan arm), I apply bioinformatics and machine learning to immunology.
I’m still on that journey — building, learning, and chasing the impact that turns science into lives saved.
