I hold an MD degree from the Astana Medical University with the professional qualification in General Surgery. Since I was interested in Oncology, I shifted to scientific research in Colon Cancer and obtained two Master Degrees from the University of Sheffield, UK, and the Institute of Clinical Research of Montreal, Canada. During both programs I was involved in the projects investigating the role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in the initiation and development of Colon Cancer.
