His projects focus on translational medicine, the development of new biomaterials, and supporting researchers in medical science.
«Success is achieved through continuous work and bringing plans and projects to their final goal», says Roman.
⭐️Alina Gorlova is a Ukrainian filmmaker, producer, and founder of the production company «Tabor». Following the Revolution of Dignity, she has focused on documentary filmmaking.
