Hello, I'm Alexander Staykov and I graduated from MSTC in 2025. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, spending time with my schnauzer named Otto, and listening to music. I like photography, cars, and biology. My Capstone project focused on various genetic modifications and their impacts on the actin structure in plant seeds. I am going to continue this research under the same lab at the University of Kentucky over the coming years, and I hope to eventually pursue a career in plant science research.
