Key directions of scientific research:

• use of DNA-markers in barley, soybean and sunflower breeding;

• hybrid sunflower breeding on the basis of CMS (Cytoplasmic Male Sterility);

• genetic history studies of Belarus population;

• genetic control of a number of diseases among Belarus population;

• DNA-testing for mitochondrial human diseases.
