Successful performance at Saratov Fall Meeting 2018

September 24-29, 2018 the XXII international conference "Saratov Fall Meeting - 2018" was held at Saratov State University named after N.G. Chernyshevsky. It included the XXI International School for Junior Scientists and Students on Optics, Laser Physics & Biophotonics and Symposium: Optics & Biophotonics 2018. Third School on ADFLIM (Advanced Fluorescence Imaging Methods) was held as well.

The conference was attended by the students of the Institute of instrumentation, automation and information technology, working in Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics: 3 master students (D. Stavtsev, and trainees-researchers – K. Kandurova and E. Seryogina) and 4 bachelors (M. Mezentsev, V. Shupletsov, S. Bryanskaya –"Biotechnical systems and technology" training program, Y. Loktionova –"Instrumentation" training program).

The team presented the results of the strategic project "University clinic of socially significant diseases" in following 6 reports and took part in Best Student Poster competition:

The presented works were performed together with partners from the Orel Regional Clinical Hospital, SPE "LAZMA" Ltd (Moscow), the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics of the Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Science (Perm , Russia) and Aston University (Birmingham, United Kingdom). The work of Valery Shupletsov was carried out with the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research as part of the project №18-02-00669. According to the results of the competition the posters of Ksenia Kandurova and Mikhail Mezentsev were awarded the 2nd and 3rd place prize respectively.  In general, all the presented works were of interest to the competition committee and the participants of the conference.

Congratulations to our colleagues and the entire delegation with successful participation in the Symposium!
