Currently, Artem Dysin is a PhD Student and Research Assistant. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology at the Leningrad State University, named after A.S. Pushkin, in 2017, a Master's Degree in Food Biotechnology at ITMO University in 2019, and in 2022 he will receive his PhD in Chemistry at RUDN University. From 2016 to the present, he has been working at the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics of Russian Research Institute of Farm Animal Genetics and Breeding - Branch of the L. K. Ernst Federal Science Center for Animal Husbandry as a research assistant. Artem’s research interests include molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and microbiology, as well as inorganic and polymer chemistry, as he is actively engaged in projects involving farm animal genetics of their productive characteristics while also searching for and developing the chemical compounds necessary for their improvement. He is mostly focused on polymeric compounds, such as chitin and chitosan. Artem’s interest in molecular genetics has now led him to research on farm animal epigenetics and miRNA. He has been a member of the Russian Chitin Society for two years.
