I was born on December 10, 1952 in the city of Chisinau. After graduating from secondary school in 1970, she was enrolled at the Faculty of General Medicine of the Institute of Medicine.

After graduating with honors in 1976, she was employed at the Nicolae Testemițanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, where she went through all the steps of her teaching career: from assistant professor to university professor and head of the Department of Management and Psychology, from in 2020 he works at the Nicolae Testemițanu Department of Social Medicine and Management.

With the launch of the first master's program, she was responsible for such subjects as "Biostatistics", "Research methods" and "Evidence-based medicine" within the School of Public Health Management of USMF Nicolae Testemițanu.

My interest in scientific research was stimulated by the work on his own theses – a doctorate (1989), then a habilitation doctorate (1997), both successfully defended. I benefited from several trainings in Sweden, the USA, Israel, Croatia, Romania and France, thus increasing my skills, published manuals, monographs, guides, contributed to the improvement of the training process of students, masters and PhD students.

As a supervisor and scientific consultant, I prepared 15 doctoral theses in medicine and pharmacy and 5 doctoral theses in medicine, 46 master's theses in Public Health Management and 12 bachelor's theses in the discipline of Social Medicine and Management. I am author and co-author of 206 scientific-didactic publications.

I am a member of WAMS, the World Academy of Medical Sciences (International Board of Biostatistics), Netherlands, of the Expert Council of ANACEC, of the Editorial Board of the magazines "Perinatology Bulletin", "Medical Curier", "Public Health, Economy and Medical Management' and 'OH&RM'.

For prodigious activity and substantial contribution to the development of science, to the promotion of outstanding results in the field of research, I was awarded the Diploma of Honor of the Government of the Republic of Moldova, the Diploma of Gratitude of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova and the Nicolae Testemițanu Medal.
