The most interesting thing I did as a Local Guide

I am Ukrainian of American descent. I live and study in Ukraine. Student of Tara`s Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Department of Virology, NSC ” Institute of Biology and Medicine”, 3 year), son of a member of the ATO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbass), a migrant from occupied Donbass and an active participant in the revolution of dignity 2014 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Ukrainian_revolution). In 2019, together with the Department of Virology, NSC "Institute of Biology and Medicine”, I helped found (created and currently maintain the UVA site) the Ukrainian Virologist Association (https://www.uva.org.ua). I am a participant and one of the organizers of the IX International Conference “Bioresources and Viruses” at which I made a presentation on Project Gemini https://www.g-1.org (an open platform that uses AI to process and compare the properties of viruses stored in its own database with third-party APIs), presentation Circles (GIS data for analyzing the dynamics and prediction of viral infections), which was presented together with a partner from the University of Oxford and presented copyright and a patent for the Vaccine Passport project (vaccination control system for the population). On December 12, 2019, with the support of the Publicist Grouped Ukraine group of companies, the All-Ukrainian youth contest "Power of Young” was held. According to the results of the selection among the best projects, I received gold for the project of the Vaccine Passport database and bronze for the project Circles - a new map of the viruses that predicts epidemics (https://biology.univ.kiev.ua/component/content /article/172-all-news/latest-news-new/2088-student-knu-zdobuv-zoloto-na-vseukrajinskomu-konkursi.HTML? Itemid=437). I am currently implementing the National Center for Virology. The main task of the center is to study the fundamental features of the structure and function of especially dangerous viruses (EDV), experimental study of the parthenogenesis of EDV, the study of the natural variability of specific viruses based on the analysis of the primary structure of their isolates obtained from various regions of Ukraine in particular and the world as a whole, in order to predict the possibility of the emergence of new pathogens pathogenic to humans. In the application plan, National Center for Virology will be tasked with developing vaccines and diagnostic products using the latest genetic engineering and computer technology.

All these projects show that in life I am not indifferent to the problems of society. I constantly fly to different countries to meet and discuss the latest epidemics and pandemics. All this time I do not forget about Google maps. I believe that my unique content from the most dangerous places will benefit society.
