• ITMO Researchers Create Model to Demonstrate What Happens During Microbiota Transplantation Genome-Wise

  Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been successfully used in treating metabolic and intestinal diseases. Even though the procedure shows high effectiveness, its mechanism remains unclear. To that end, scientists from ITMO University and the Federal Research and Clinical Center of Physical-Chemical Medicine (Russian Federal Medical Biological Agency) carried out an extensive study on post-FMT patients, during which they figured out how the intestinal microbiota changes under FMT and how its composition correlates with donor microbiota.

• ITMO Researchers Develop Algorithm System to Boost Efficiency of COVID-19 Treatment

  Scientists at ITMO University have created a system of algorithms that uses data gathered from COVID-19 patients to suggest optimal treatment for every patient. The technology was originally developed for the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, but, given the current events, the system was taught to help COVID-19 patients. The algorithms are based on Russian and international clinical protocols.
