I was hoping to see spring buds when I arrived to German capital in the end of March for Berlin 2013 Seminar. Over 500 people – current Fulbrighters from all over the Europe, their families, program alumni, and those Fulbrighteres who were getting ready to begin their journey to the US – gathered for a […]

I have been in Washington focusing on my PhD research at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, School of Advanced International Studies – Johns Hopkins University since the end of March 2012 and it is hard for me […]

As a molecular geneticist, affiliated with the Department of Pharmacology in Oxford (UK) and later with the pharmaceutical biotechnology industry in San Francisco (CA, USA), I have been involved in research projects investigating how the human body responds to pharmaceuticals and other exogenous chemicals of everyday life (called “xenobiotics”). This knowledge is particularly relevant when […]
