Valentina Iosifovna Domash was born on November 25, 1939. She is Belarusian and has been professionally associated with Minsk and the V.F. Kuprevich Institute of Experimental Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Her documented family connections include her parents Maria Nikolaevna and Iosif Pavlovich, her husband Sergey Aleksandrovich, and her sons Alexandr Sergeevich and Dmitriy Sergeevich.
Domash studied at the Biological Faculty of Belarusian State University from 1957 to 1962. She subsequently pursued advanced biological training through the National Academy of Sciences, completing work in Biological Sciences associated with the candidate degree in 1969 and earning the Doctor of Science degree in 1997. Her doctoral research examined the properties and biological functions of the proteinase-inhibitor system of higher plants.
Domash began her scientific career in 1962 as a laboratory assistant at the Institute of Experimental Botany of the National Academy of Sciences. After an initial period in laboratory work, she advanced to leading researcher at the Institute of Experimental Botany from 1985 to 1990 and then served as head of a laboratory from 1990 to 2011. She was also recorded as a senior researcher in 1999. In later professional publications she was identified as a chief researcher and doctor of biological sciences at the V.F. Kuprevich Institute of Experimental Botany in Minsk. Her research centered on plant proteins, proteinases, trypsin and other proteinase inhibitors, proteolysis, plant responses to salinity and water stress, and biochemical approaches to evaluating the resistance and nutritional quality of crops including lupine, legumes, beans, barley, potatoes, and other cultivated plants. Her work combined fundamental study of plant biochemical systems with applications in crop selection, stress tolerance, plant protection, and agricultural biotechnology.
Conducted research on the proteinase-inhibitor system of higher plants, including the properties and biological functions of plant proteinase inhibitors, the regulation of proteolysis, and biochemical responses to salinity and water stress.
Participated in the development of patented and patent-related methods for identifying high-protein forms of narrow-leaved lupine and evaluating potato resistance to Fusarium infection and other adverse factors.
Published and contributed to research on plant proteins, proteolytic enzymes, trypsin inhibitors, crop stress physiology, and the biochemical assessment of cereal and legume resistance.
