Laboratory Head Evgeny Knyazev Named Among the Best Teachers of Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology
The winners are determined by student voting
At our faculty, as well as throughout HSE University, students annually vote in a secret ballot to select the best teachers. These elections are part of the student evaluation system for teaching quality.
Evgeny Knyazev is the primary teacher for laboratory practices for first-, second-, and third-year students. During these practicals, students acquire basic and advanced laboratory skills—handling micropipettes, preparing buffers, setting up electrophoresis experiments, and later working with cell cultures, RNA extraction, and real-time PCR. In addition to practical work, students also learn the theoretical foundations of these methods. With such thorough and extensive training, students easily integrate into scientific laboratories.
In student feedback, special attention was given to the teacher’s attentiveness, clear presentation of material, diligence, and willingness to help. Congratulations to Evgeny Knyazev, and we wish him continued success in his work!
