Practical preparation of students at the Joint Department with RAS Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry

On January 16, 2023, Joint Department with RAS Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry held a discussion on possible scientifically significant tasks for organizing practice for 3^rd year students of the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology of the HSE University.

The idea of the experiment to study the induction of ferroptosis in breast cancer lines modified by knockdown of ELOVL5 and IGFBP6 genes was put forward. Associate Professor of the joint department Sergey Nikulin presented the results of the recently published work "ELOVL5 and IGFBP6 genes modulate sensitivity of breast cancer cells to ferroptosis" and formulated a possible plan of experiments for practical course.
