Dr. Olga Tarasova | Genetics and Genomics | Best Researcher Award

Institute of Biomedical Chemistry, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS) | Russia

Dr Olga A. Tarasova is a bioinformatician and computational chemist whose research bridges cheminformatics, machine-learning and virus–host interaction modelling. She gained her M.S. in Medical Cybernetics and PhD in Bioinformatics from the Institute of Biomedical Chemistry (Moscow, Russia). Since then, she has progressed through roles from junior researcher to senior researcher now leading advanced computational modelling studies of antiviral compounds and virus–host interplay (e.g., at the Laboratory of Structure-Based Drug Design and recently heading the Laboratory of Big Data Analysis in Digital Pharmacology at IBMC). Her research interests include (Q)SAR/QSPR modelling, fragment-based drug design, molecular docking, text/data mining and machine-learning for prediction of metabolic, toxicity and viral-resistance profiles. Among her honours: the First-Degree Prize for Best Investigation at the Young Scientists Forum of the Russian Academy of Sciences for her work on HIV–host interactions. Dr Tarasova combines rigorous methodological development with applied antiviral and host-interaction modelling, making her a strong contributor to computational drug-discovery and virology informatics.
