I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University and Novosibirsk State University (NSU) have signed an agreement to open a joint clinical research center "West-East". The goal of the strategic partnership between the country's two leading research universities is to organize and conduct clinical research, create breakthrough technologies and innovative drugs for practical healthcare. Vice-Rector for Scientific and Technological Development of the First Moscow State Medical University Vadim Tarasov and Rector of NSU Mikhail Fedoruk signed the document on August 27 at the XII international forum "Technoprom-2025" in Novosibirsk.

The Clinical Research Center of the First Moscow State Medical University and Novosibirsk State University will begin its work in September 2025 and its activities will have two key areas. The first is conducting clinical trials of drugs. Combining the resources of two leading Russian universities will solve the problem of patient recruitment for pharmaceutical companies by coordinating actions in the Western European (based on Sechenov University) and Eastern European (based on NSU) parts of the country.

The second direction is joint exploratory research to create innovative medical technologies. The partners will direct part of the funds received from the commercial activities of the center to their development.

— To implement this strategic direction, we are combining the capabilities of two universities. On the part of Sechenov University, this is medical industry expertise and our unique competencies in the field of drug development and bringing them to market, — Vadim Tarasov commented on the signing of the document. — Our specialists have successfully developed and introduced into production more than 200 drugs, conducted more than 300 preclinical and more than a thousand clinical studies, including studies of the first coronavirus vaccine "Sputnik V". We carry out all stages of drug development – from the stage of molecule selection to the submission of a registration dossier in accordance with Russian and international standards. Together with Novosibirsk State University, we plan to create a system for financing exploratory research at the expense of profits received for conducting clinical trials. We are talking about joint research to create breakthrough medical technologies and innovative drugs using artificial intelligence and X-ray structural analysis of molecules. The combination of these technologies will significantly speed up and reduce the cost of developing innovative drugs.

The Medical Research and Educational Center of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) of NSU will become the platform for the Eastern European segment of the clinical center. The Institute has unique technological platforms and a ready-made research infrastructure, which creates a solid foundation for its development and allows it to begin implementing specific scientific and clinical tasks.

— The infrastructure created at NSU for conducting fundamental research, including the unique educational and research station SKIF-NSU, the construction of which will be completed this year, will allow us to exchange experience, expand the clinical base, initiate new projects, and also shorten the path of a drug from the first phase of clinical trials to the launch of a finished product on the market, — said Yulia Samoilova, Director of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU.

She also noted that today most clinical trials are conducted in central Russia. Now that a similar center will be created beyond the Urals, new opportunities will appear for expanding cooperation with drug manufacturers from the BRICS countries, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China and India, for whom it is more convenient from a logistical point of view to interact with research centers located in Siberia.

The West-East Center is equipped with all the necessary equipment for conducting clinical research and testing of medical products, including innovative ones that have no analogues on the market. In the future, NSU and Sechenov University plan to launch joint network educational programs in the field of medical and pharmaceutical education, including programs for additional professional education.

Protecting the brain from dementia: SPbPU scientists propose a new method of treating Alzheimer's disease

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Researchers from the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) have proposed a new strategy to combat Alzheimer's disease. The results of their work were published in the prestigious international journal The Journal of Neuroscience.

Alzheimer's disease remains one of the most common and devastating neurodegenerative diseases in the world.data According to the World Health Organization, 57 million people worldwide suffer from dementia, with 60–70% of cases suffering from its most common form, Alzheimer's disease. As scientists note, this disease is caused by harmful substances accumulating in the brain: β-amyloid, which forms plaques, and tau protein, which curls into balls. This interferes with the normal functioning of nerve cells, disrupts the connection between them, and gradually leads to deterioration of memory and thinking. Modern therapeutic approaches are mainly associated with attempts to remove these plaques from the brain, but in practice they do not show high efficiency.

SPbPU scientists focused on another fundamental problem accompanying Alzheimer's disease — the imbalance of calcium ions inside neurons. As the authors of the study explain, calcium plays the role of a key signaling element in nerve cells. Normally, its concentration inside the cell is strictly controlled. In Alzheimer's disease, toxic β-amyloid disrupts this regulation, causing a massive and uncontrolled flow of calcium into neurons. Calcium overload leads to cell hyperactivity, disruption of neural connections and, ultimately, to their death, which is manifested by loss of memory and cognitive functions. Instead of blocking calcium channels (an approach that often leads to serious side effects), scientists proposed helping the cell cope with the problem itself. Their attention was drawn to the intracellular SERCA pump, which is responsible for pumping excess calcium into special storage facilities. The hypothesis was that enhancing the work of this pump could protect neurons from calcium stress.

In the first stage, the researchers tested six substances that could potentially activate the SERCA pump. Using cell models with a fluorescent calcium sensor, they identified the most effective compound, NDC-9009. Not only did it normalize calcium levels in neurons better than others, but it also protected them from the damaging effects of β-amyloid, preserving the integrity of dendritic spines, structures that are critical for memory formation. Having confirmed its effectiveness in cell models, the scientists moved on to testing on mice with an Alzheimer's disease model. To monitor brain function in real time, they used cutting-edge technology — miniscopeIt is a miniature microscope that is attached to the head of a freely moving rodent and allows the activity of hundreds of neurons to be recorded simultaneously, for example in the hippocampus, the brain's memory center.

Mice with Alzheimer's disease showed chaotic and excessive neuronal activity. After a course of intraperitoneal administration of NDC-9009, the activity of their neural networks normalized, becoming similar to that of healthy animals. More importantly, this restoration of brain function was accompanied by a clear improvement in memory and learning ability in behavioral tests. The analysis of data obtained from the miniscope was carried out using software we developed earlier NeuroactivityToolkit, — explained Evgeny Gerasimov, a research engineer at the Laboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration and the Laboratory of Biomedical Image and Data Analysis at SPbPU.

These results indicate that SERCA pump modulators, and NDC-9009 in particular, offer a promising new avenue for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This approach targets a fundamental mechanism of cell death, calcium imbalance, and may have a more favorable safety profile than existing therapies.

The work was completed by a team of authors: Evgeny Gerasimov, Anastasia Rakovskaya, Ekaterina Pchitskaya, Olga Vlasova, Dal Russell and Ilya Bezprozvanny within the framework of project No. 075-15-2024-548 in priority areas of scientific and technological development of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

Lecturer at the State University of Management, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements at the Institute of Economics and Finance Maxim Chirkov, whose expert comments on economic issues we publish weekly in our digest

The incident occurred on August 11 in the city of Sochi. On that day, students of the Higher School of Public Administration of the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, vacationing in the boarding house "Burevestnik", decided to lay flowers at the cargo ship "Azov", which sank during an attack by German aircraft on October 22, 1942 off the coast of Sochi.

The weather was sunny, the waves were not too high, so the boys did not immediately get alarmed when they heard the first cry for help. After the second cry, Maxim Chirkov, who was nearby, quickly got his bearings, pushed off from the rock, swam to the drowning man, grabbed him by the shoulder and together they reached the shore.

Later, analyzing the situation, the participants in the event came to the conclusion that the MSU student panicked when a strong rip current carried him out to sea.

Maxim Chirkov himself thanks the world champion in water polo in the Masters category Pavel Ageyev and other water polo players from Moscow State University, with whom he has been involved in this sport for many years, for his training.

The story did not receive much publicity in the media, as the participants in the events coped on their own and did not call the emergency services.

The State University of Management thanks Maxim Chirkov for his ordinary heroism. We are proud and respect him!

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In the fall of 2025, the first project of joint educational programs between Russia and West African countries at the level of secondary vocational education will be launched. The priority areas of training are the agricultural sector, agriculture, construction industry, as well as natural sciences and technical specialties. Colleges and three universities of the Novosibirsk Region are participating in the pilot project: Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk State Technical University and Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, each of which oversees its own area. The project is coordinated by the Center for Public Diplomacy. Representatives of NSU and the Center for Public Diplomacy announced this today at a press conference in TASS as part of the international forum for technological development "Technoprom-2025".

The project includes several stages. In order to bring the educational programs of Russian and African colleges closer together, the first stage will involve retraining of college teachers. The first program in the agricultural field will start in the fall of 2025 and provides for training teachers of African secondary vocational educational institutions at Novosibirsk universities for a period of several months to a year.

— We are starting to combine secondary vocational and higher education institutions within the framework of one project. We will start with retraining secondary education teachers in Burkina Faso, this is a key partner country for us, a pilot platform for testing new projects. The partners on the Russian side are colleges and universities of the Novosibirsk Region. In the future, we plan to replicate the successful experience in other regions of Russia, — commented Natalia Krasovskaya, Director of the Center for Public Diplomacy.

The next stage is planned to organize preparatory departments of Russian universities in educational institutions of secondary vocational education in African countries. Upon completion of their studies, college students, having already mastered the profession, will be able to choose one of two trajectories: to start working in their specialty in their country or to continue their education at a specialized university in Russia.

— The peculiarity of the project is that a joint Russian-African educational program of secondary vocational education is being created. In the future, its graduates will have the opportunity to enroll in a higher educational institution under an accelerated program and complete a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Thus, in six years of study — secondary vocational education plus a university — students receive a full bachelor's degree. For NSU, this is an additional tool for attracting foreign students, — said Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the NSU Education Export Department.

Novosibirsk State University (NSU), together with the Center for Public Diplomacy, is launching a unique international-class program aimed at training schoolchildren in Burkina Faso. The pilot project will start on October 1, 2025, and includes intensive Russian language training, followed by two years of computer science and mathematics courses adapted to NSU requirements. Representatives of NSU and the Center for Public Diplomacy announced this today at a press conference at TASS as part of the international forum for technological development "Technoprom-2025".

The project in question is a unique experience for Russia, creating a specialized class in one of the lyceums of Burkina Faso. Students who complete the program will have the opportunity to enroll in specialized specialties at Novosibirsk State University.

— Over the past two years, we have been actively working in West African countries, creating and strengthening cooperation at the university level. Thus, last year an agreement was signed to create a Consortium of Russian Universities for cooperation with African countries. Now this project also covers school education, which allows us to prepare young people in advance for admission to Russian universities — three years before graduation. By creating a specialized international class, we are developing curricula adapted to the requirements of universities, which creates unique conditions for learning. This, in turn, will increase the number of students from African countries studying at Novosibirsk State University and other leading Russian universities, — commented Natalia Krasovskaya, Director of the Center for Public Diplomacy.

Schoolchildren with good knowledge of English will be allowed to participate in the program; it is planned to recruit 25-30 people. Computer science and mathematics programs will be developed by NSU teachers.

— The implementation of the model for selecting talented young people for admission to the university and the creation of specialized international classes is an important element of our international cooperation strategy. Therefore, we pay attention to building cooperation not only with universities, but also with schools, — commented Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU.

Based on the results of the pilot project, it is planned to replicate the successful experience in other countries where Russian Houses of the Center for Public Diplomacy are already operating – Niger, Guinea, or are planned to open – Ghana, Mali, Libya, Namibia.

Representatives of the Civil Engineering Institute took part in the ArchIng workshop, which traditionally takes place within the framework of the Summer School project. This year, the event brought together more than 50 schoolchildren, students and young professionals from different cities and universities.

The Civil Engineering Institute was represented by Alexandra Zatsepina, senior lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction, who acted as the scientific director of the architectural and school tracks, as well as ISI graduates Ekaterina Zorina (director of the workshop) and Valeria Kozodaeva (curator of the architectural direction).

The workshop’s partners were the companies Metropolis and Petersburg through the Eyes of an Engineer, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) and the Institute of Applied Urbanism.

The school track participants explored public spaces in Dubna: the Bolshoi Volzhsky Lighthouse, the Family Recreation Park, and the pier near the pedestal of the demolished monument to I. V. Stalin. The children visited the design site, took photographs, interviewed residents, and then created improvement projects and developed new architectural forms that embodied the memory and spirit of the place. For example, near the Bolshoi Volzhsky Lighthouse, the team proposed installing sculptures in memory of the political prisoners who built the lighthouse itself and the Moscow Canal.

On the architectural track, students and young professionals created art objects reflecting the unique identity of Krasnodar, Khabarovsk, Ulan-Ude, Vladivostok, Arkhangelsk and Chelyabinsk, which are currently experiencing population outflow. First, the participants collected associations related to each of the cities in zine albums. Then they rethought the images and embodied them in concepts of art objects that could become symbols of urban life and cultural heritage. For example, for Arkhangelsk, the guys reworked the image of a wooden bird of happiness, which is in every home, and for Vladivostok, they depicted colonies of Idiomarina Martina bacteria for cleaning the Sea of Japan.

Students and engineers of the design track created models of bridges. After a lecture on the development of span structures, which was given by the teacher, writer and head of the design bureau Anton Smirnov, the participants developed calculation schemes in software packages and implemented them using 3D printing. The projects included "Retro Bridge", "Celtic Grasshopper", "Whalebone" and "Arched Bridge". After testing, the winner was "Whalebone", which withstood a load of 29.8 kg with its own weight of only 1.2 kg.

Alexandra Zatsepina noted that the main success of the workshop is the formation of a community that opens up opportunities for joint projects and communication. This also contributed to strengthening cooperation between the university, companies and scientific organizations. In addition, the workshop showed how architects and engineers work and think, thanks to which many were able to decide on their choice of profession.

Natalya Kasperskaya explained why cooperation between universities and large Russian IT businesses will develop

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Yesterday, Novosibirsk State University hosted a meeting with the president of the InfoWatch group of companies and co-founder of Kaspersky Lab Natalya Kasperskaya, who came to Novosibirsk to participate in the international forum for technological development Technoprom-2025.

During her visit to the university, she became acquainted with the developments of NSU innovation centers, including the Center for Artificial Intelligence, discussed possible options for cooperation with the university and held a meeting with students, teachers and staff of the university, where they discussed a number of current issues in the field of information technology and ensuring Russia's technological sovereignty.

— To develop the information technology industry, we need a developed ecosystem with different layers. This includes the production of element base, our own developed microelectronic industry, and the presence of research centers, laboratories, including in universities, where fundamentally new solutions are created, and, of course, a system for training personnel who are focused on the development of IT here, with us. We practically do not have this ecosystem, domestic microelectronics is dying, it was not so much Russian as foreign companies that invested in education, and a whole generation of specialists grew up who believe that we have nothing of our own, all the optimal solutions and technologies are created in the West. And now we need to do something about it, — Natalya Kasperskaya shared her position.

She admitted that she does not see any quick and easy ways out of the current situation, but noted that certain steps are being taken. At first, the departure of Western companies opened up space for growth for Russian developers, but this growth not only led to a multiple increase in income, but also exacerbated the shortage of personnel in the industry.

— Now the state, represented by the Ministry of Digital Development, intends to stimulate IT companies to more actively participate in the training of future specialists. “Companies with a turnover of over a billion rubles a year have been given a simple condition — if they do not cooperate with universities, they will be deprived of accreditation, which means a significant increase in taxes paid. Moreover, this cooperation cannot be limited to supplying universities with equipment and software. IT companies will be required to send employees to teach at universities, organize internships and invest in research and development,” she explained.

This year, this format will be tested as a pilot at a number of large companies, and from next year it will become mandatory for all those whose revenue exceeds a billion. But this will only affect IT companies that have already firmly established themselves in the market, and will not affect startups.

Also during the meeting, they discussed the prospects for the development of generative artificial intelligence, primarily large language models like ChatGPT. According to Natalya Kaspersky, this technology is greatly overestimated and in the near future it will face a stage of decline and a certain disappointment.

— At first, while the same ChatGPT was trained with texts created by people, it showed impressive results, then, when neural networks began to learn on content generated by other neural networks, the quality began to fall. But if you do not remove people from this process, then the very meaning of using neural networks is lost, — she emphasized. And she suggested that it would be more relevant and useful to focus on the development of other artificial intelligence technologies, in particular, autonomous control systems for unmanned vehicles, the use of AI in processing medical analysis data and other areas where it will take on routine work, but issue recommendations, rather than make decisions.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On August 26, 2025, a meeting of the Academic Council dedicated to the upcoming academic year was held at the State University of Management.

At the traditional ceremonial part, the rector of GUU Vladimir Stroyev presented gratitude from the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Biysultan Khamzayev and congratulated the university employees who celebrated their birthdays since the last meeting. And the rector himself was congratulated on his past birthday on behalf of the university by the vice-rector Dmitry Bryukhanov.

The first item on the agenda was a secret ballot for candidates for vacant teaching positions.

The second point is approval of the work plan of the Academic Council for the 2025/2026 academic year.

In total, 42 questions were considered, so we will not talk about each one, but will only mention the most important ones.

Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Artem Terpugov proposed to amend the Regulation on the remuneration of university employees, increasing it, as well as increasing the amount of state scholarships.

Among the issues raised by Vice-Rector Pavel Pavlovsky, we highlight the approval of the work program for educational work at the State University of Management and the decision to create new departments in the Center for Coordination of Projects for the Development of Youth Policy and Educational Activities, including a department for strategic planning and analytical support, as well as a department for attracting and working with partners.

Director of the Pre-University of the State University of Management Marina Grigorieva proposed to approve the main educational program of the department she heads. In addition, the Academic Council adopted the Regulation on the current monitoring of academic performance, forms, frequency and procedure for midterm assessment of Pre-University students. Following Marina Grigorieva's reports, Rector Vladimir Stroyev expressed hope that the number of classes in the Pre-University will increase in the near future.

Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov proposed to create a Career and Practical Training Organization Center. The Academic Council supported the proposal and approved the speaker as the head of the new division of the State University of Management. In addition, at the suggestion of Dmitry Bryukhanov, discounts were approved for applicants to study in DPO programs. The discounts are balanced in such a way as to stimulate applicants, but at the same time maintain the profitability of the programs.

Among the issues voiced by Vice-Rector Vitaly Lapshenkov, we would like to highlight the proposal to approve the cost of services for organizing physical education and health activities in computer classes for cyber sports. According to the Vice-Rector, these classes are in great demand.

Director of the Department of Academic Policy and Implementation of Educational Programs Natalia Starkova submitted for approval by the Academic Council the schedule of classes from September 1, 2025.

Deputy Director of the Department of Academic Policy and Implementation of Educational Programs Olga Zhuravleva proposed to approve the amounts of the increased state academic scholarship and the state social scholarship in an increased amount from August 1, 2025. Please note that the scholarships are being increased from August 1, this is not a mistake.

At the end of the Academic Council meeting, Nikolay Mikhailov, Advisor to the Rectorate of the State University of Management, spoke about the progress of the final stage of the admissions campaign and announced its preliminary results. At the moment, 1,706 applicants have been accepted to our university. We are waiting for the final results and the beginning of the academic year.
