Aynura Pashayeva graduated with honors from the Faculty of Biology of Baku State University in 2013 and her masters degree in "Genetics" in 2015.
In 2022, Aynura Pashayeva defended her dissertation on "Light-induced proteome and metabolome changes in cereal plants" at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnologies of ANAS to receive a phd in "Molecular Biology". After receiving her phd in Biology, Aynura Pashayeva worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Molecular Biology of Pusan National University, Republic of Korea. Her research is devoted to the study of short- and long-term molecular adaptations of photosynthetic organisms to environmental changes.
Since 2024, Aynura Pashayeva has been working as the Head of the International Proteomics Laboratory of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnologies of the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Her research focuses on studying the mechanisms of adaptation of photosynthetic organisms to various stress factors at the proteome and metabolome levels, as well as developing new strategies to increase stress resistance.
For her achievements in scientific activity, Aynura Pashayeva was awarded the Honorary Order of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) "For Distinction in Scientific Activity" in 2017. She is also a member of the International Society for Photosynthesis Research (ISPR) and the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB). She has presented papers at conferences held in countries such as Japan, Korea, Pakistan, and Tajikistan. In addition, she works as a reviewer for a number of local and international journals.
