Autobiography
Djansugurova Leyla Bulatovna was born in 1967, Kazakh. In 1989, she graduated from the Kazakh State University by S.M. Kirov, Biology Faculty, Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology. Since
1986, simultaneously, she studied at the Department of Genetics of the Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov by individual form, and performed scientific work at the Institute of Molecular Genetics, RAS (Moscow). The research thesis was defended in 1993 by specialty “genetics – 03.00.15”. The title of associate professor was conferred in 2004, the title of Full professor was received in 2015.
During 1992-1996 yy. she has been working as a scientific researcher in the Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Developmental Genetics of the Institute of Gene Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow). Since 1996 she works at the Institute of General Genetics and Cytology, first as a senior researcher at the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, since 2006 - as Director of the Institute of General Genetics and Cytology, combining with teaching at the Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology of Kazakh National University by al-Farabi.
Djansugurova LB is a qualified specialist in the field of molecular genetics and cell biology. The range of her research interests: the problem of genetic instability; carcinogenesis; apoptosis; regulation of gene activity in ontogenesis; individual resistance and resistance to hazard environmental influence; genetic susceptibility to multifactorial diseases, genetics of ageing, population genetics and paleogenetics.
Leyla Djansugurova was an executor of 2 international grants, which were devoted to analysis of radiation influence on human population living close to former Semipalatinsk nuclear test site. In 1999-2000 yy. she trained at the Department of Genetics, Leicester University, Leicester, Great Britain. She is an independent expert in the field of DNA fingerprinting.
13 Kazakhstan research projects and 3 scientific-technical programs were done under her leadership. In total she has 3 patents, 5 workbooks, 3 monographs, 315 publications including manuscripts in high-rating scientific journals (Science, Mutation Research, Biochem. Biophys. Res.Com., International J. Hygiene and Environmental Heath, FEBS Journal, Frontiers in Genetics, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Expert Review of proteomics, Tumor Biology, Biomaterials, J. of Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis, Eur. J. of Cell Biology, Disease Markers etc.).
According to the Thomson Reuters database for February 2018, CI index is 134, h-index is 5. She is widely known in Kazakhstan and abroad as a highly qualified specialist in the field of medical, ecological, and population genetics. Under her leadership, the only paleogenetic laboratory in Kazakhstan (2013) has been created. The Paleolab is focused on interdisciplinary research of valuable archaeological material that found on the territory of modern Kazakhstan in comparison with the ethnogenesis of the Kazakh people.
Djansugurova LB actively participates in the training of young specialists. There are 7 PhD research works being done under her supervision, currently 3 PhD students are being prepared. She already has her own scientific school: her students actively work both in laboratories of molecular genetics and population genetics of the Institute of General Genetics and Cytology, and abroad.
In 2011, she was awarded by the medal "20 years of Republic of Kazakhstan independent". In 2015 - a breastplate "For input to the development of science." In 2016 - a diploma "For academic honesty."
