Mathematical models in evolutionary genetics, cell biophysics, and animal physiology help to understand the principles of evolution and functionality of biological species on a macroscopic and microscopic scale. In our research, we study telomeric DNA, which is involved in the regulation of cell aging, the population growth in yeast and the regulation of biorhythms under the influence of the external environment. In addition, our research deals with a number of interesting problems on the edge of current mathematical knowledge, which we study thoroughly.
