In 1999, he graduated from I. I. Mechnikov National University of Odesa (Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology). From 1999 to 2002, he worked as a senior laboratory assistant in the electron microscopy laboratory at the Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy named after V. P. Filatov (Odesa). At the same time, he was an employee of the Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology of ONU. He was engaged in human genetics, studied the state of the protective systems (immune, antioxidant) of children with Down syndrome.

From 2002 to 2013, he was the head of the interdepartmental laboratory of physical and chemical research methods in biology at the Biological Faculty of ONU.

In 2012, he defended his PhD thesis on the topic "Genetic polymorphism and temporal dynamics of the genetic structure of natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster in Ukraine"

From 2013 to 2021, associate professor at the Department of hydrobiology and general ecology.

From 2021, he performed the duties of the head of the Department of hydrobiology and general ecology.

In parallel with my work at ONU, I teach a school biology course and special courses for schoolchildren of various schools in Odesa (Rishelevsky Lyceum, Odesa Private Lyceum (until 2020 Odesa Private Gymnasium) "Mriya", ZOSH No. 117), preparing schoolchildren and students to all-Ukrainian and international Olympiads, biological tournaments. He is one of the organizers and scientific leader of the biological summer practice for schoolchildren.

Since 2016 is a member of the regional expert commission for quality assessment of the External Independent Assessment in Biology.

Since 2018, he has been a member of the regional international network of DNA barcoding specialists.
