✨ The faculty at Skoltech is a source of great pride for us. It comprises not only scientists but also true stars of science, and students from around the world consider it a privilege to study and work alongside them. In this new section, we will introduce you to the professors of Skoltech.
Professor Mikhail Gelfand is a recognized expert in bioinformatics within the international scientific community. His research covers comparative genomics, systems biology, molecular evolution, transcriptomics, and metagenomics, and his works have been published in leading scientific journals. His scientific works have been cited over 20,000 times by researchers from around the globe.
The Director of the Center for Molecular and Cellular Biology at Skoltech and Vice President for Biomedical Research, Professor Gelfand is not only a member of the Academy of Europe (Academia Europaea) but also the only Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology in Russia. He is one of the most renowned science popularizers in the Russian language, with his lectures viewed millions of times. He has been awarded the A.A. Baev Prize by the Russian Academy of Sciences for his outstanding contributions to genomics and gene information technology.
At Skoltech, Professor Gelfand teaches two courses on bioinformatics and comparative genomics and leads a group of scientists focused on systems biology, functional and comparative genomics of bacteria, evolution of the chromatin structure, and transcript splicing and editing in eukaryotes.

👩🔬 The main product of a scientist's work is scientific discoveries. They can be shared with the scientific community using a poster, article, or presentation. Therefore, it is crucial important to be able to distinguish your work from others.
On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, together with Marina Tepliakova, a research fellow at the Center for Energy Technologies and the author of the course "Scientific Design: From Poster to Cover" as part of the Independent Study Period (ISP), we will talk about how a scientist can make a high-quality poster.
