So I would love if you could just give us a little background maybe on what got you into researching this topic.

Yeah, so my journey in psychiatry really stems back when I was in the first year in the medical school.

I got into psychiatry very early, even though initially I was planning on becoming a brain surgeon.

But I very quickly realized that surgery doesn't click as well with me as psychiatry.

And quite early on, I was lucky enough to be a part of a big research group.

I did my MD in psychiatry training in Russia.

And one of the first project that was a part of that eventually opened a lot of doors in science and entrepreneurial space for me was to work with one of the country's leading group doing brain imaging on neuropsychiatric patients and specifically working with one of the most severe cases I've ever seen in my practice.
