Alex Maslov, MD, PhD
Co-Founder
Ph.D. Cell biology/Biochemistry, Voronezh State University, Russia, 1996
M.D. Voronezh State Medical Academy named after N.N. Burdenko, Russia, 1992
Developed a novel next-generation sequencing-based approaches for genome-wide assessment of somatic mutational load in normal cells and tissues.
The focus of my research is on understanding the role of genome instability in the development of human disease, cancer and aging in particular. A significant part of my efforts is devoted to the development of new approaches of the identification of somatic mutations of various types
