• ITMO University Scientists Create Cancer Treatment Nanomachines

  …or the machine's better efficiency. The scientists also learned that the nanomachine can inhibit the growth of malignant cells, though cellular experiments didn't show high specificity. The researchers associate such a result with a possibly poor choice of the RNA target and a low stability of DNA structures in the cell. The new approach differs fundamentally from…

• How to Win a Grant From ITMOSTUDENTS.Initiative

  …p, we’re going to use funds earned via supporting other trademarks’ blogs. For now, it’s more important for us to become known as an ITMO-backed project than to receive any specific resources. Is there anything you’d like to improve about the competition? First of all, more effort must be done to inform students. Ideally, they would be given a list of all compe…

• Shadow Samurai: Motion Capture Game by ITMO Developers

  …ows to record and customize gestures for interacting with the game environment. This means that now, you can write a set of gestures into the game engine, ascribing them to specific actions,” says Andrey Karsakov. “What we managed to achieve by that is that we created a pretty much universal system which works equally well with TAU, Leap Motion, and, in the future, w…

• SCAMT Achievement Award Winners on Genetic Engineering and Doing Research as a Master’s Student

  …ition opened up in an English-language program, I decided to transfer, since its curriculum closely matched the topic of my thesis, which is about DNA nanomachines. More specifically, I’m developing a DNA nanomachine for the selective induction of apoptosis of cancer cells as part of Prof. Dmitry Kolpashchikov’s research team. DNA nanomachines are a series of synt…

• Robot’s DNA, Biofuel Cells and Holographic Protection: SCAMT Workshop Week at ITMO

  … My group works on the development of nano-pharmaceutical drugs. Actually, we have a very tight schedule: we attend general lectures in the morning, then we listen to field-specific lectures, and then goes the practical part. At the end of each day, we discuss the results with our group coordinator. The purpose of our project is to come up with a new targeted anticlo…

• ITMO Researchers Develop Fast and Simple Perovskite Nanolaser Creation Method

  …cules, the isopropyl molecules become ionized and form chemical bonds with lead ions on the surface of perovskite nanosurfaces. This ensures that the nanocrystals grow in a specific direction. “As far as we know, our method is the easiest and fastest of those that exist today. Using cheap chemical reagents, we are able to produce monocrystal perovskite nanolasers …

• Analyzing Metagenome Helps Understand the Role of Bacterial Species in Crohn’s Disease

  …genomic analysis showed that the genetics of Escherichia coli of patients with Crohn’s disease can be quite different, while many researchers believed that there exist only specific varieties. This supports the concept that Crohn’s disease is a syndrome, i.e., a disease in which similar manifestations in multiple cases are caused by different factors in each case,” c…
