Higher School of Medicine and Biology Enters into Cooperation with the Institute of Immunology and Physiology of the RAS Ural Department

 

A new unique department of SUSU Higher School of Medicine and Biology (HSMB) begins its functioning by concluding agreements with the leading experts in the field of immunology of the Ural region. Therefore in June the agreement on the cooperation between the Higher School of Medicine and Biology and the Institute of Immunology and Physiology of the Ural Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Yekaterinburg, Russia) was concluded; the latter is very popular among the specialists in immunology and physiology. The agreement was signed by the Director of the Institute, Doctor of Sciences (Medicine), academician of the RAS, academician of the RAMS, Professor Valerii Chereshnev and the Rector of SUSU, Doctor of Sciences (Engineering), Professor Aleksandr Shestakov.

One of the main breakthrough areas of SUSU is the research in the field of human sciences in the section of "Molecular Stress", which, according to the approved by the SUSU Competitiveness Growth Program, requires mutual work of biologists, immunologists, physiologists, and specialists in the genetic engineering.

According to the Director of HSMB, Candidate of Sciences (Medicine) Denis Kozochkin, today the development of biology and medicine in the framework of the Higher School faces certain difficulties. 

 "Even the most powerful medicine research centers in Russia and abroad can study only a narrow segment of problems related to the medicine and human physiology single-handedly. That is why today it is very important to keep in touch with leading research centers and universities on the issues in the field, - says Denis Aleksandrovich. - We have taken the initiative concerning the cooperation with the Institute of Immunology and Physiology in the sphere of educational and research activities and been granted support from the colleagues in Yekaterinburg."

In the framework of the agreement on the cooperation of SUSU and the Ural Department of RAS the joint laboratory "Molecular Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering" is being planned to be founded on the basis of the Higher School of Medicine and Biology and the Institute of Immunology and Physiology. The mutual research and realization of educational programs, as well as some extra events like practice-oriented forums  are being planned to be carried out within the laboratory. Prospective immunologists, physiologies, biotechnologists and specialists in functional nutrition will share their experience in a new laboratory.
