One of the most surprising and refreshing aspects of studying abroad, particularly in Russia, has been the flexibility to work while studying. I genuinely appreciate that adjustments can be made to accommodate students’ work routines. It reflects an understanding that students are not only learners but also professionals building their careers and supporting themselves. It has allowed me to apply what I learn in real time and connect theory with practice.

After a nationwide selection process where applications from across Russia were reviewed, Rami secured 600,000 RUB in funding for one year to implement his research. Rami shares:
My research focuses on the epigenetic regulation of the MUTYH gene and its role in protecting mitochondrial DNA against genotoxic stress. The grant competition had two stages: first, applications from many students across Russia were reviewed and 20 finalists were selected. Next, we defended our projects before a prestigious committee, where only 9 participants were chosen as winners, and I was the only foreigner.
Through this grant, I hope to uncover how DNA repair genes are regulated by the cell’s own biology and how they help maintain mitochondrial DNA stability.
Congratulations to Rami on this achievement 👏
