HSE University Scientists Win 2024 Best Russian Research Paper Competition
Leading scientists from HSE University have won the Scientific Category of the 2024 Best Russian-Language Scientific and Popular Science Works Competition by HSE University employees in the "Biology and Medicine" section for their research on predicting the effectiveness of chemotherapy with gemcitabine in patients with bladder cancer.
The research from the laboratory was presented at the second Drug Developers Summit "Sirius.Biotech"
As part of the special session "Study of Safety and Biomarkers of New Drugs," a report was given on "The Use of the 'Human-on-a-Chip' Platform in Drug Development"
Grant Application by Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology Supported by the Russian Science Foundation
The project to develop a microfluidic placenta-on-a-chip model for studying various aspects of normal and pathological placental physiology, including one of the severe pregnancy complications—preeclampsia—has won in the competition "Conducting Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research by Individual Scientific Groups"
Evgeny Knyazev, Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology, Took Part in the School of Scientific Leaders in Sochi
From November 26 to December 1, the Scientific Leaders' Offsite School and the III Congress of Young Scientists took place in Sochi and the Sirius Park of Science and Art. Evgeny Knyazev, a member of the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology at HSE University, participated in these events.
Laboratory seminar 'Relationship between microRNA expression in the intestinal epithelium and the expression of (+)RNA viruses'
On November 22, 2022, a workshop was held at the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology on 'The Relationship of MicroRNA Expression in the Intestinal Epithelium with the Expression of (+)RNA of Viruses'.
Laboratory Seminar 'Influence of SARS-CoV-2 VOC Omicron Mutations on the Spectrum of High-Affinity Peptides in the Moscow Population'
On November 15, 2022, the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology held a scientific seminar titled 'The influence of SARS-CoV-2 VOC Omicron mutations on the spectrum of high-affinity peptides in the Moscow population'
Members of the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems and the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology participated in RECOMB 2021
25th International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB 2021) was held online on August 29th - September 2nd. Staff of the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology - Stepan Nersisyan, Alexey Galatenko, Diana Maltseva and Alexander Tonevitsky participated in a poster session with the report 'miRGTF-net: Integrative miRNA-gene-TF network analysis reveals key drivers of breast cancer recurrence'
Russian Scientists Investigate the Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 Variants
HSE University researchers assessed the effectiveness of the T-cell immune response to 11 variants of SARS-CoV-2. Their findings have been published in Nucleic Acids Research.
Hormones Can Help Brain Recover after Injury
An international team of researchers including Alexander Tonevitsky, Professor at HSE’s Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, found that pituitary hormones may produce different effects on the left and right sides of the body following a traumatic brain injury. These differences can accelerate the development of motor disorders. Researchers are trying to determine whether treatment that blocks the corresponding hormones can counteract these effects. The results of the study were published in the journal eLife.
HSE Researchers Discover Nucleotide Sequence Responsible for Effectively Fighting Pathologies
Researchers from HSE University have discovered nucleotide sequences characteristic of microRNA isoforms (microRNAs with errors). The discovery will help predict errors in microRNA behaviour and create drugs that can detect targets (such as viruses) more effectively. The results of the study have been published in the RNA Biology journal.
