Head of the Department, PhD Biological Sciences, associate professor
Scientific interests: radiobiology; the state of ecosystems and adaptation mechanisms of living organisms to long-term effects of ionizing radiation; monitoring and remediation techniques for radiation affected territories; control of radionuclide intake by a living organism.
Education and Career
Graduated in 1993 from Francisk Skorina Gomel State University, Biology Faculty, with a top-student honours degree. Started her IRB career in 1994. Took her postgraduate course in Radiobiology during 1997–2002 and in 2003 successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “The state of populations of cell immunity effectors in lungs exposed to ionizing radiation” (scientific supervisor – Academician E.F. Konoplya).
2003 – Scientific Secretary, IRB; 2009 – Deputy Director for Science; 2020 – Head of Environmental and Food Quality Department, IRB; 2004–2012 – Scientific Secretary of Dissertation Advisory Committee (PhD Course in Radiobiology), IRB.
Among other highly esteemed national experts, was directly involved in developing the concept and scope of a number of State R&D Programmes: 2006–2010 “Radiation and Ecosystems”, 2011–2015 “Natural Resources Potential” sub-programme “Radiation, Ecology and Technosphere”, 2016–2020 “ Environmental Management and Ecology” sub-programme “Radiation and Natural Systems”, 2021–2025 “Natural Resources and Environment” sub-programme “Radiation and Biological Systems”.
Was one of the multi-agency panel members appointed to review and accept the deliverables under 2003–2005 State R&D Programme “Radiation and Anthropoecology” and 2016–2020 “Environmental Management and Ecology” sub-programme “Radiation and Natural Systems”.
Currently, she is a standing member of the Scientific Council for 2021–2025 State R&D Programme “Natural Resources and Environment” sub-programme “Radiation and Biological Systems”.
She has authored and co-authored over 90 scientific publications and 3 patents.
Repeatedly awarded with Honorary Certificates by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus and by the Gomel Regional Executive Committee for her in-depth study of the body’s radioresistance and its improvement, the mechanisms and effects of low doses of ionizing radiation, as well as for her scientific and organizational support during realization of the national fundamental research programmes.
