Anastasiya Sidorenko
educator microbiologist researcher
Anastasia Sidarenka was born in Belarus on June 14, 1984. She is also documented under the Russian-language form Anastasia Vyacheslavovna Sidorenko. Her professional career has been based in Minsk, where she has combined research at the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus with teaching and academic work at Belarusian State University.
Sidarenka studied at the Biological Faculty of Belarusian State University, completing her university education in 2006 with a Master of Science qualification. From 2006 to 2009 she pursued postgraduate study at the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. She defended her dissertation for the degree of candidate of biological sciences in 2013. Her subsequent academic work at Belarusian State University included teaching microbiology and supervising student research.
After graduating from Belarusian State University in 2006, Sidarenka began working at the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, where she initially served as a researcher. Her scientific work has addressed the systematics and identification of microorganisms, probiotic bifidobacteria, bacterial antibiotic resistance and its molecular mechanisms, molecular diagnostics of phytopathogenic microorganisms, microbial ecology of humans, and the preservation and characterization of microbial strains. Since 2014 she has worked concurrently as an associate professor in the Department of Microbiology of the Biological Faculty of Belarusian State University. In 2020 she became head of the institute's Microorganism Collection Laboratory. Her research has included studies of bifidobacteria, lactococci, bacteriophages, phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi, thermophilic spore-forming bacteria, microbial consortia, and microorganisms from Antarctic habitats. She has also undertaken research-related training at the L. Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy in Poland, Lund University of Technology in Sweden, the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, the All-Russian Research Institute of Genetics and Selection of Industrial Microorganisms, the Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and the Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Defended a dissertation for the degree of candidate of biological sciences in 2013.
Conducted research on microbial systematics, probiotic bifidobacteria, antibiotic resistance, phytopathogenic microorganisms, microbial ecology, and the preservation of microbial collections.
Contributed to the development of university teaching materials and instruction in microbiological biotransformation of substances and human microbial ecology.

2016Since 2016 Sidarenka has served as the delegate of the Belarusian Society of Microbiologists to the Federation of European Microbiological Societies. Her professional participation connects Belarusian microbiological research with the broader European microbiological community.
Sidarenka's documented family relations include her mother, Yanina, and her father, Vyacheslav. Her professional connections include collaboration with microbiologists and biotechnologists on research into probiotic bacteria, microbial collections, phytopathogens, antibiotic resistance, and molecular diagnostics.
