Marat Kazanov
Center for Molecular and Cellular Biology
Supervisor: Mikhail Gelfand
Marat graduated from the Applied Mathematics Department at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. He defended his Candidate of Sciences thesis in Computer Science at the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence, ISA RAS under the supervision of Professor Vladimir Arlazarov, who is known for developing the first world chess champion computer program Kaissa. Then, he spent three years as a postdoc at the laboratory of Professor Andrei Osterman at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, La Jolla, USA, participating in the projects related to the biological regulatory network reconstruction, computational drug discovery and chemoinformatics. On his return to Moscow, he worked on various bioinformatics projects under the supervision of Professor Mikhail Gelfand. He co-authored papers in the high-impact journals including Lancet Onc., Cell Rep., NAR, Science and Nature. Marat’s current research interests include cancer bioinformatics, bacterial regulatory networks, protein structure and medical imaging.
