The project is focused on the development of point-of-need bioanalytical methods for the quality control of food and water. Currently, quality control is performed in laboratories using sophisticated and expensive methods. The high cost of testing, extended analysis time (2-3 hours), the requirements of bulky stationary equipment, and qualified personnel restrict the applications of these methods only to professional laboratories. Our goal is to bring quality control of food and water to the users at point-of-need.
I received a Banting fellowship in 2021. This fellowship allowed me to join Prof. Sergey Krylov's lab at York University and initiate collaborations with key clinical partners at Sinai Health and Toronto General Hospitals
I have successfully worked on projects dedicated to point-of-care diagnostics of inflammatory biomarkers, viral diagnostics (hepatitis B and C, SARS-CoV-2), and environmental screening (pathogens of plants, xenobiotics in environmental objects).
The chemical department of the University of Waterloo is home to world-calibre scientists. It would be a great honour for me to learn from them and work together. The University provides a perfect environment with qualified personnel, facilities, and materials required for the completion of the project and its further development as a market product.
The people. I am looking forward to meeting and working with very qualified academics and enthusiastic young researchers.
Playing guitar and spending time with my family.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
