Key directions of scientific research:

• Molecular-genetic bases of the integrity and stability of human and animal genomes in the norm under the influence of environmental factors and in pathological states;
• Genome stability and variability; antimutagenesis as an important way to maintain the genome integrity, stimulate the viability and productivity of animals, reduce a risk of common and oncological human morbidity;
• Improving of diagnostics, a prognosis and therapeutic approaches based on the study of a genetic predisposition and molecular pathways of the pathogenesis of multifactorial diseases;
• Oncogenomics: a complex analysis of mutation and epigenetic variability of malignant tumors.
