Dear Visitor,

You can find here any research or news article I have published. It is provided full citation statistics for any research publication according to many different research databases. You can also find my Doctoral thesis, patents, and News and Views papers on my research. I am Review Editor in genetic systems and circuit design of Frontiers in Synthetic Biology and also Guest Editor of Special Issue "New Approaches in Antimicrobial Drug Discovery and Design" of the journal Antibiotics with impact factor 4.8.

Our recent paper is an editors' choice of the American Chemical Society!

Our recent paper is among the most popular in the ACS Synthetic Biology!

The research in the Robert Penchovsky laboratory was supported by a grant DN13/14/20.12.2017, completed with 20 publications with IF of 84 points and Q1-4 of 274 points entitled "Design and experimental validation of chimeric antisense oligonucleotides as antibacterial agents" and is currently supported by a grant KP-06-H31/18/13.12.2019 entitled "Engineering functional nucleic acids for synthetic control of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes" awarded by the Bulgarian National Science Fund (BNSF). You can see a presentation of the results of the first half of the project DN13/14/20.12.2017 (in Bulgarian only). Our research was noticed and commented in high impact factor journals such as Nature Biotechnology, Nature Methods, ACS Synthetic Biology, and RSC Chemistry World.
