Curriculum vitae

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Hokkaido University · Japan

Whole slide imaging and spatial biology in small cell lung cancer, with genomics, bioinformatics, and translational medicine.

Clinical Specialist, remote

IQVIA · Almaty, Kazakhstan

Remote clinical assessments with standardised neurological and psychiatric rating scales for international clinical trials, with protocol compliance and data quality standards.

General Practitioner

Dau-Med Clinics · Shymkent, Kazakhstan

Independent adult outpatient care: assessment of acute and chronic conditions, treatment planning, follow up, documentation, and coordination with other specialists.

Postdoctoral Scholar

Academia Sinica · Taipei, Taiwan

Genomics and computational biology. Completed the Helicobacter pylori study begun in Kazakhstan and extended computational training before returning to clinical practice.

Internal Medicine Resident

Nazarbayev University School of Medicine · Astana, Kazakhstan

Supervised inpatient and outpatient care of adult general medicine patients: admissions, daily rounds, and management planning. I withdrew voluntarily in March 2025 to accept a postdoctoral position that let me complete the H. pylori study I was leading. The withdrawal was unrelated to any professionalism or disciplinary concern.

Conducted evolutionary genomics, molecular biology, and computational analysis in OIST’s international and interdisciplinary research environment.

Computational Neuroimaging of Language Impairment after Acute Stroke

Laboratory for Research in Neuroimaging, CHUV / University of Lausanne · Switzerland

Co-authored a computational neuroscience study of neuro-clinical signatures of aphasia using quantitative native CT from 80 patients with acute ischemic stroke and 30 controls.

Contributed to research combining voxel-based quantification, automated lesion mapping, spatial normalization, and principal component analysis of NIHSS-derived neurological profiles.

Worked with a multivariate brain–behaviour analysis that associated language impairment with distributed gray- and white-matter abnormalities.

Consultative Psychiatry Elective

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center · United States

Psychiatric consultation, structured clinical interviews, and multidisciplinary discussion of medically complex patients.

Visiting Researcher
