Hello everyone, my name is Ubaida Adamu from the Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok.
I am a PhD candidate at Center for Genomics, Institute of Life Sciences and Biomedicine. I am currently working on Coumarins biosynthesis and pathways, as well as their accumulations in an in vitro plant cultures.

Pretty late in introducing myself!
My name is Roberto Calzadilla, and Iām from Puerto Rico. I consider myself an evolutionary geneticist and systems biologist; but worked in infectious disease epidemiology. Officially, Iām a biotechnology graduate student at Harvard. I do work in RNA+evolutionary biotechnology and currently in the middle of a stint in origin of life research (also RNA related).
people you work with/projects on COVID19-related projects:
Iāve been doing research on my own for the last 10 year as a hobby since I dwell in theory and bioinformatics. Regarding COVIDā¦ I worked with COVID-19 all too closely. I was one of the custodians for my countryās pandemic data as I worked as an epi at the PR State Health Department. Every test, case, hospitalization, death, etc. I had to keep eyes on as I was responsible for cleaning the data. I just wrapped up that work and now Iām going to try and do thesis workā hopefully even work with other people for once!
I also intensely study RNA viruses (especially +ssRNA) as these taxa are my ideal model system to study all the things Iām interested in I use them as my model system to study.
Yes, Iām obsessed with RNA in case it wasnāt obvious. 
designing/expressing/testing any enzymes?
I havenāt done wet lab work since my undergradā but I want to get back to it. As it might be inferred from the previous text, Iām gonna adventure into RNA related enzymes. Want to try and get a cell free system working.
Looking forward to contribute!
