Four billion rubles were invested in the creation of the St Petersburg University scientific park
At St. Petersburg State University, the formation of a scientific park has been completed, which includes 21 resource centers.
“In terms of equipment and technological capabilities, this park is unique in Russia, and in a number of areas – in the world,” says Nikolai Kropachev, Rector of St. Petersburg State University. – High-tech equipment becomes obsolete at a high speed, so it is important to provide access to it to as many scientists as possible in a short period of time. Therefore, the St Petersburg University Science Park is open to all research groups both from the university and from other Russian and foreign universities.
Its availability is ensured by a staff of 250 highly qualified engineers and 100% funding from the university for consumables. St. Petersburg State University has introduced a system of electronic registration and monitoring of the implementation of applications for research. That is, all the work of resource centers is transparent. It is equally important that our researchers are provided with access to almost all modern information resources that are now available in the world.
The work of the St Petersburg University Science Park is focused on providing five priority areas: biomedicine and human health, information systems and technologies, nanotechnology and materials science, ecology and rational use of natural resources, management personnel and technology. One of the last to open was the resource center “Development of Molecular and Cellular Technologies”. The most modern and ultra-powerful equipment for conducting research in various fields of molecular and cellular biology is concentrated here, which has brought the work of St. Petersburg scientists to a fundamentally new level.
“An important advantage of the park is the availability of all the necessary equipment, which is geographically located in one place,” explains Pavel Zykin, director of the resource center. – This makes it possible to carry out complex experiments with minimal time. Our main projects are aimed at key problems of modern biology and medicine. Among them are the determination of the patterns and mechanisms of immune reactions, the development of the fundamentals of regenerative medicine, the biology of malignant neoplasms and the development of new substances with antimicrobial activity.
Associate Professor at St. Petersburg State University Roman Kostyuchenko uses the center’s capabilities to study regeneration. That is, the body’s ability to re-form tissues and even body parts lost after surgery or an accident. So far it sounds incredible. However, since there are examples of successful regeneration in the animal world, it means that it should be possible to launch this mechanism in humans, the scientist is sure.
– It is known that a person’s fingertip can grow, which means, in principle, our body has such resources. It’s just that compared to what animals have, they are very meager. By the way, when we talk about regeneration, we mean the restoration of not only organs, but also functions. For example, vision,” says Roman Kostyuchenko. – The successes of regenerative medicine are significant, although they are still far from a breakthrough. It is necessary to study the fundamental mechanisms of regeneration in invertebrates and understand how applicable they are to humans. With the help of new equipment, we can understand which genes begin to work when the regeneration mechanism starts, monitor the behavior of cells and even record what is happening. Nowadays, successful work requires not only your head and hands, but also modern technical capabilities. The resource center provides them to us. Well, we have people.
– The creation of a system of resource centers began at our university back in 2010. Over four billion rubles were spent on this,” says St. Petersburg State University’s first vice-rector for academic and scientific affairs, Igor Gorlinsky. – Investments would not make sense if the principle of general access to work in resource centers had not been implemented. The key to our success is that we rely on existing scientific schools at the university, on world-famous researchers and on young people who are just beginning their journey into big science.
By the way
At the end of November, a solemn ceremony for awarding academic degrees from St. Petersburg State University took place at St. Petersburg State University. They were received immediately by five young researchers who went through a complex defense procedure: strict requirements were imposed on the dissertation materials, and the level of results achieved and scientific publications on research topics had to meet the highest international standards.
One of the first in the modern history of the university to receive a PhD degree from St. Petersburg State University was Anton Nizhnikov for his dissertation in the field of molecular biology.
“I study amyloids, a specific group of proteins that form ordered aggregates,” the scientist explained. – They cause the development of dozens of different incurable human diseases – Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and others. The identification of each new amyloid is a significant event in the scientific world. Carrying out research of this level was largely made possible thanks to the creation of a unique scientific park at St. Petersburg State University.”
The young researcher is confident that the development of a high-quality technical base and an open system of work in the state-of-the-art laboratories of St. Petersburg State University will also reduce the outflow of scientists abroad.
“Now it is necessary to make every effort to prevent the outflow of our graduates abroad,” says Anton Nizhnikov. – The mega-grant system and the development of resource centers can certainly help this. People plus advanced technologies are the conditions for a breakthrough in science.”
