Adana Keshishian is telling.
Young people abroad to have free will in making decisions about their studies
Science abroad is aimed at solving global problems with the most innovative and modern methods, which is slowly but steadily developing in Armenia as well. Abroad, young people are provided with both the necessary new literature and many means of studying this literature, which promotes freedom of thought and creates a desire to go deeper in the profession. Abroad, young people are valued and free to make decisions related to their education, but in Armenia, this freedom is not yet so pronounced for students.
Scientific works: opportunities to solve problems of humanity
In general, young people should be loved and appreciated, considering that they are the potential of the country's development. One of my ultimate goals is to present my own experience to young people, to support and help them in the educational process, and I want to contribute to the future of Armenia by serving my knowledge to my homeland. For the development of science, it is necessary to regularly make investments, because it is scientific works that offer solutions to the problems arising in any field.
Successful research in the fight against drug addiction
I have conducted a number of research works on drug addiction treatment methods. Animals were the object of my studies, and taking them as a sample, I built models of drug addiction, as well as developed steps for their treatment. Most of the experiments have been successful. This means that in the future my work may be of pivotal significance for drug addiction treatment.
Writing PhD thesis: key decision in making professional career
After receiving a bachelor's degree at YSU, I decided to continue my studies in the graduate educational program at YSU Institute of Pharmacy. That year, YSU participated in the "Network University of the CIS countries" program, and I decided not to miss the opportunity to become the student representing the Institute of Pharmacy at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN). As part of the program, I left for Moscow to study in the first year of the master's degree and returned to YSU to continue my studies in the second year of the master's degree. In the end, I received both a YSU diploma and an international diploma from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. After receiving a master's degree, I worked in Armenia for two years as a Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Manager at the Scientific Centre of Drug and Medical Technology Expertise after Academician Emil Gabrielyan, then I decided that I should fulfill my long-standing dream of becoming a doctor of sciences. That is why I am currently doing research in Italy, following my dream that has become a goal.
