Development is important: it “lift” a lot of ethical issues, and also allow you to avoid costly testing of drugs on animals and humans. While we are talking about liquid medications, but the researchers plan in the future to adapt the system and under solid dosage forms.
– many new therapeutically active molecules, poor permeability, and to deliver the drug in the body effectively, – says head of the laboratory microphysiological systems, School of Biomedicine, far Eastern Federal University Dmitry Cuspules. You need a reliable experimental model that can accurately predict the kinetics of intestinal penetration of molecules. Similar models in the modern medicine does not exist, but there are domestic developments in the field of microfluidic systems. Our platform has the potential to become the new laboratory standard for the study of the permeability of the innovative drug molecules.
According to the scientist, you will first create a library of permeability of natural medicinal compounds. Why? Just over 60 percent of the biologically active molecules discovered over the last 30 years in the world, is made up of natural compounds or compounds based on them. Collection of natural compounds in the Far East will be the basis for experimental verification of the new system.
Another joint project of the University and the HSE – social and economic. Scientists intend to overcome the limitations of classical Economics. The study will help to clarify the behavior of residents of Moscow and the Russian Far East, in particular, the level of trust, the willingness to mutually beneficial cooperation, the impact of expectations on people’s behavior, ability to learn and adapt.
One of the practical applications of our research will be the design of a new mechanism of investments in the infrastructure of the Kronotsky reserve (Kamchatka) based on the system of electronic auctions, pre-foreclosures tourist destinations is through the web interface or a mobile app, says the head of the laboratory Schools of economic processes FEFU Alexander Filatov. – I hope that the system will motivate tour operators from different regions to work as honest as possible, buying the right number of seats. So the reserve will be able to plan ahead and to develop new tourist routes to attract more tourists Kamchatka and at the same time take care to preserve the natural wealth thanks to foreign investment in tourism infrastructure.
In the framework of the project, the University will be equipped with stationary and Russia’s first mobile laboratory for the experimental research in the field of behavioral Economics. The research results will form the basis for the development of training simulators and is unique in Russia the package of educational games d��I students-economists.
Both projects the universities will Finance in equal shares in the framework of the contest of the HSE “Mirror laboratory”.
