R&D Center of Biomedical Photonics

According to the results of 2018 competition for grants of Russian Science Foundation in priority areas of RSF activity "Conducting of fundamental scientific research and exploratory scientific research by individual scientific groups", the project of Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics team "Clinical and experimental substantiation of multiparametric optical biopsy of hepatopancreatoduodenal zone organs for minimally invasive surgical operations" was supported.

March 19-24, 2018, as part of the strategic project "National Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics", colleagues from ITMO University N.B. Margaryants and M.V. Volkov conducted joint research at Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics with new experimental equipment.

Director of Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics Dunaev A.V. read the lecture "The Possibilities of Light in Medicine" as part of the first lectures of educational project "Kurilka Gutenberga"

Development of the newest technologies of optical non-invasive diagnostics of blood supply and life support of biological tissues in the new laboratory will promote methods for early diagnosis of disorders in such socially important diseases as diabetes, abdominal diseases, and rheumatological disorders. The development of new competencies will be aimed at improving the educational, scientific and innovative activities of the university.

At the SPIE international symposium Photonics West 2018 in San Francisco, USA, as part of BiOS conference (section "Dynamics and Fluctuations in Biomedical Photonics XV"), the poster "Fibre-optic probe for fluorescence diagnostics with blood influence compensation" was presented. This is the result of joint scientific work of Orel State University and Aston University (Birmingham, Great Britain).

Employees of Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics became the winners of the competition of initiative projects of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, the grant competition of the President of the Russian Federation for the state support of young Russian scientists and a contest for scholarships of the President of the Russian Federation in 2018-2020 for young scientists and post-graduate students, performing research and development in priority areas of modernization of the Russian economy.

Postgraduate student of the Institute of Instrumentation, Automation and Information Technologies Igor Kozlov and post-graduate student of the Institute of Natural Sciences and Biotechnology Maria Filina became the prize-winners of the 22nd All-Russian competition of masters’ graduation theses of 2017 in the enlarged group of higher education training directions 12.00.00 "Photonics, instrumentation, optical, biotechnical systems and technologies".
