Tatiana Pashkovskaia

I earned my undergraduate degree in molecular biology from Moscow State University and later specialized in bioinformatics during my master’s studies at Skoltech (Moscow). Alongside my studies, I worked as a bioinformatician at BostonGene for three years, gaining hands-on experience in computational biology.

What has always fascinated me in biology is transformation — the dynamic processes through which one entity changes into another and the mechanisms driving these changes. This extends to cells and tissues, which constantly adapt and differentiate. It’s not just the genetic code itself that matters, but also when and how it is activated. This is why I am particularly drawn to studying cancer, with a focus on neuroblastoma.
