Alexander Zherebker
Center for Molecular and Cellular Biology
Professor: Evgeny Nikolaev
Zherebker Alexander graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University, Chemistry department at 2012 and started his PhD in laboratory of natural humic system with Professor Irina Perminova. His thesis was devoted to application of high-resolution mass-spectrometry to explore molecular features of Natural Organic Matter. In order to extend information obtaining by mass-spectrometry he developed approaches of selective isotopic labeling of backbone carbon and functional groups in individual compartments of humic substances. Alexander published a series of papers on his research in high-rank journals. He made a project with prof. Patrick Hatcher in Norfolk, USA as a visiting researcher. His achievements were marked by international humic substances society with training and travel awards. Alexander defended his thesis in 2017 in the field of organic chemistry.
Alexander participated as a performer and as a leader in different research projects on high-resolution mass-spectrometry as well as analysis, classification and medical application of humic substances.
