Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Protistology
Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences
The main activity of the laboratory is evolutionary and taxonomic studies of key phylogenetic branches of unicellular eukaryotes, research on the problem of species, biogeography and the role of protists in natural communities. The laboratory's research combines both classical approaches involving the study of the morphology and physiology of the protist cell as an individual organism, and modern methods of phylogenetics, phylogenomics and molecular biology.
