I am a PhD in Biotechnology with over 12 years of research experience in microalgae and cyanobacteria biotechnology. My research focuses on the development of natural bioactive compounds and functional food additives aimed at improving human health and quality of life. My work integrates microalgal cultivation strategies, bioactive compound extraction, and evaluation of antioxidant and biological activities. I have completed international research internships at the Laboratory of Algal Biotechnology, Institute of Microbiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and at the Department of Bioengineering at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (Germany), where I gained advanced expertise in microalgae and cyanobacteria cultivation, metabolite extraction, and bioactivity assessment. As a recipient of the prestigious Bolashak International Scholarship, I also conducted research training at The Ohio State University (USA). Since 2021, I have been actively involved in fundamental and applied research projects and currently lead a Young Scientists Grant Project (2024–2026) under the “Zhas Galym” program, focused on developing innovative biotechnological solutions with translational and industrial potential. I have authored more than 25 scientific publications, including 10 high-impact journal articles indexed in Thomson Reuters and 4 patents on innovative technologies.
