I have graduated from Medical School at Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University in Kyrgyzstan, a country in Central Asia where I was born and grown up. After completing one year of internship in Oncology Department at the National Oncology Center in Kyrgyzstan, I decided to pursue a career in cancer research and moved to Seoul, South Korea. I earned my Ph.D. in Cancer Biology in 2017 from the Catholic University of Korea, College of Medicine. My first postdoctoral training was at Indiana University School of Medicine studying molecular pathogenesis of ovarian cancer using genetically-engineeried mouse models. I have started my current postdoctoral fellowship at NIH/NCI in Translational research group of Neuro-Oncology Branch in October 2020.
