Twelve years ago I moved to the United States from Moscow where I was born, raised, educated, received a Ph.D. degree, and gave birth to my son Ilya.

During my tenure in the lab I participated in almost all of the major projects mentioned in the introduction to the research pages: Structure and sequence of the Drosophila melanogaster genome; genome structure and evolution in D. virilis; cosuppression of transposable elements and hybrid dysgenesis; C-value paradox; and the transposable element mariner. All of these have several recurring and unifying themes centered on transposable elements, genome evolution and Drosophila. I feel that it is time now to drop at least two of these (transposable elements and Drosophila) and to venture into something quite different. My new pet is going to be the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. As for the project itself, I'm contemplating several possibilities, which I'm not prepared to announce right now, because I need more time for additional research and discussions.
