Summary
Nikolay Zolotarev is a postdoctoral researcher with eight years of hands-on experience dissecting gene expression regulation and chromatin architecture across Drosophila and mammalian systems. He combines wet-lab expertise—ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, CRISPR knockouts, EMSA, antibody generation and diverse protein purification techniques—with bioinformatics proficiency in Python/R and pipelines for high-throughput data analysis (bowtie2, MACS2, DESeq2, MEME). Trained at Lomonosov MSU and Yandex School of Data Analysis and holding a PhD in Molecular Genetics, he has transitioned from the Institute of Gene Biology to MPI and now to Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf, bringing a track record of reproducible genomics workflows. Colleagues value his ability to bridge complex experimental design with computational analysis, and he uniquely pairs classical biochemical approaches with modern sequencing-driven discovery.
