RESEARCH AREAS
• Microbial sampling of extreme environments, molecular and biochemical studies
• Protein engineering of restriction endonucleases, cleaving specific DNA sequences
• Development of new genetic engineering technologies
• Research on new method for cancer suppression and cure, including applications of „slow” electrons and other radiation on chemically sensitized DNA
• Synthetic biology – generation of modified genes, gene control systems as well as entire co-regulated genes pathways of industrial application potential
• Novel anti -virus and -bacteria therapies and vaccines based on genetic engineering technologies, including anti-HIV vaccines
