  PhD in molecular biology. 15 years of experience in investigating
  structure-function organization of proteins, analysis of antigenic
  structure and computer design of peptides, proteins with improved
  properties and artificial proteins which are candidates for vaccines.
  Many theoretical developments were successfully confirmed by experi-
  ments. Development of original methods for analysis of proteins based
  on their amino acid sequences. Experience with different software
  packages for analysis of protein and nucleic acid sequence and pro-
  tein structure: sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis, comparison
  of sequences with databases, secondary structure prediction, functi-
  onal and antigenic site searching, etc.
