On March 5, the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University was visited by the director of the N. P. Bekhtereva Institute of the Human Brain of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IHBR RAS), Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Mikhail Didur.
At a meeting with the rector of SPbPU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy, an agreement on cooperation between the two organizations was solemnly signed, aimed at interaction in scientific research and educational activities. On the part of SPbPU, cooperation will be carried out on the basis of the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology (IBSiB).
The agreement provides for the organization of joint scientific research and development in such areas of science as the study of the structure and mechanisms of brain functioning in normal and pathological conditions, nuclear medicine and the development of radiopharmaceuticals, and targeted drug delivery.
An important aspect of the interaction between SPbPU and the IMC RAS is the training of highly qualified personnel in the field of biomedicine and bioengineering, including the organization of scientific internships for students and postgraduates of the IMC RAS in the laboratories of the IMC RAS.
The Institute of the Human Brain was created to develop the world-famous scientific works of the outstanding Russian scientist, Academician Natalia Petrovna Bekhtereva. The uniqueness of the work of the IMC RAS lies in the conduct of comprehensive fundamental studies of the organization of the human brain and its higher mental functions, as well as the presence of a clinic equipped with the latest technology, on the basis of which high-tech medical care is provided to patients. The Polytechnic also conducts scientific research in the field of neurosciences aimed at studying the mechanisms of development of neurodegenerative diseases. I am confident that joint research will allow us to achieve new fundamental and applied scientific results, – noted Andrey Rudskoy.
Mikhail Didur emphasized that the conclusion of such an agreement is a systematic continuation of the work of the founder of the Human Brain Institute, Natalia Bekhtereva, who, throughout all the years of her active scientific work, developed interdisciplinary research, involving employees of the physical, technical fields, mathematicians and chemists in the work.
Following the vector set by Natalya Petrovna, we believe that interaction with such a powerful university as the Polytechnic University can become as productive as possible for science in the Leningrad Region. We also set ourselves the task of developing this cooperation as much as possible. Three areas are a priority: joint scientific work, creation of an educational base and platform for university graduates, training of personnel to work on modern high-tech and rather rare equipment. I think that our scientists will be able to complement each other and educate excellent young specialists. This, of course, is the main task of such cooperation between educational and scientific institutions, – concluded Mikhail Dmitrievich.
Strengthening ties with scientific organizations of St. Petersburg is very important for the development of our institute. This not only gives us new opportunities to conduct scientific research and development, but also allows our students to undergo scientific internships and complete their diploma theses at leading Russian scientific centers, such as the Institute of Biological and Biological Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, commented Director of the Institute of Biological and Biological Problems Andrey Vasin.
The Bekhtereva Institute of the Human Brain of the Russian Academy of Sciences is one of the leading Russian scientific organizations that conduct fundamental research into the organization of the human brain and its complex mental functions. The Institute’s tasks also include optimization of diagnostics and search for methods of treating brain diseases. The Institute was created as an institution focused on studying the human brain, the mechanisms that ensure the performance of higher mental functions, their “breakdowns” that lead to the development of pathologies, and the creation of high-tech diagnostic and therapeutic methods on this basis. The main component of the Institute’s success is its team, which continues to develop the ideas of the Bekhtereva school, develop new research areas and improve treatment methods, as well as being equipped with the latest research and medical equipment.
