Hi everyone!
I'm PhD student in biosciences fused with advanced IT-technologies. This is a pretty new field of research called bioinformatics. I focus my research on two major issues of our time: oncology and aging.
Believe it or not, but these two processes have so much in common, especially when studying the problem from a molecular point of view.
I will try to reflect these similarities in senescence and oncological diseases, but not forget to talk about the differences, as well as the latest breakthrough discoveries in this field.
Of course, I feel you wanna ask me: "Why aging? Why oncology? Andrew, you're so young, you should hang out with lovely chicks and throw this rubbish out of your head. Nobody likes crazy geeks!".
Enough! Enough! Yes! I know all your comments on this matter. Why cancer? It's very simple. Take a look the child with cancer! Even once! I've been working in the center for Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology for several years and for me it's crystal clear: we must work in this direction and try to help young and adult patients.
Why aging? It's even easier. Who wants to become older and older and finally go to the cemetery? Almost nobody. Except a small number of adepts of some sect, ready to burn themselves alive.
However, it should be noted, we don't want to talk about tools and drugs for dying old people. It's a medical care issue. We ought to concentrate on different levels of our organized matter, various molecular processes that change during our life and cause aging.

Hope, my posts will stir up your daily routine with new sophisticated features of human life.
