Currently a faculty member in the Dept. of Biochemistry, Oxford University, Lidia is from Krasnoyarsk, a very beautiful city in the middle of Siberia, Russia. She earned a Masters of Science from the Institute of Protein Research, RAN, in Pushchino, Russia. She went on to earn a PhD from the University of Helsinki, where she studied the replication of positive strand RNA viruses. Her work in the Buratowski lab connected RNA synthesis and termination to quality control by the exosome.

Vlad was a plant scientist in Russia before moving to the US. He was an invaluable member of our lab for many, many years. He's currently enjoying spending his retirement with his grandchildren.

Minkyu Kim earned his PhD from Seoul National University where he studied DNA damage response in fission yeast. His research in the Buratowski lab focused on how eukaryotic RNA polymerase II terminates transcription. After leaving the Buratowski lab, Minkyu was an Assistant Professor at Seoul National University until 2015, when he joined the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences at UCSF.
