I started working with Andrej at the Institute of Physiology, National Academy of Sciences (Minsk), in 1987, when I was a third year biology student at the Belarusian State University. At that time, Andrej did not have his own lab: we all belonged to the huge (80 people) laboratory headed by Professor Gourine. But Andrej had his own laboratory room. There...(continue)

Miklos' publications with FeverLab

I have known Andrej for over two decades and very soon we became friends – due to the age-gap I almost regarded him as one of my sons. A very able son. In science, mainly studying fever, we worked together first in our lab in Pecs, then again during a six-month period in the lab of Professor Blatteis in Memphis, before Andrej established his own FeverLab...(continue)

As Administrative Assistant III to the Chief of Legacy Research in Portland, my duties included assisting the research doctors and facilitating their work in any way that I could. It was an extremely humbling and gratifying position to be in. I enjoyed working with amazing researchers such as Dr. Romanovsky. These were the good old days.

I interned in Andrej’s lab at the Barrow Neurological Institute while I was in high school. When I first started, I wasn't sure what to expect from his lab. I initially worked alongside postdocs, but after about a year or so, Andrej assigned a small project to two high school students: Alex Dragic and myself. That allowed us to truly delve into biomedical research...(continue)
