Marat Mufteev – Graduate Student, 2017-2023
From: Ufa, Russia
Marat Mufteev completed his HB.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics at the University of Toronto and his PhD in QBMG program in the Molecular Genetics department at University of Toronto.
In the Ellis lab Marat strived to understand post-transcriptional mechanisms underlying neural development on a genome scale.
He is an enthusiastic fan of “combat-hugging” in pyjamas, as he proves a few times a week at judo practices.
