Biography
Tigran’s primary research interest is in the study and engineering of new metabolic pathways in a variety of living organisms. During more than two decades of experimental work, he developed a number of industrial technologies including production of organic acids, amino acids, lipids, terpenoids, and enzymes. Tigran obtained a BSc from Moscow State University where he subsequently taught a course of lectures - Metabolic engineering of microorganisms. After he got a PhD, for three years he was a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London. In 2021, he moved to Rothamsted Research, where he works in the Plant Sciences Department. Currently, he is focusing on discovery of new biosynthetic pathways in willow and poplar aiming to bring new valuable molecules for industry and pharmacology.
