Natural Waste to Slow Down Climate Change: ITMO Fellow Randa Ghonim on Cleaning Oil Spills With Green Technologies
…pproaches to cleaning up oil spills, including mechanical, chemical, physicochemical, biological, and others. We believe that it’s important to use simplified green methods to solve this problem. So we suggest using agricultural waste material, such as rice straw, waste paper, and tree leaves, to treat oil spills. There are several advantages to such materials. First…

ITMO Launches New Biotech Master’s Track With Geropharm
…on, language testing certificates). Points were also given for work experience at laboratories as part of research groups or as interns. In addition, the applicants were to solve three cases and demonstrate their ability to analyze bioengineering tasks and complete them. One such task involved devising a way of removing an admixture from adenoassociated viruses (u…

FoodTech Trends Every Startup Creator Should Know
…l farming increases greenhouse gas emissions and puts a strain on ecosystems – raising livestock requires a great deal of area, water, and electricity. The problem could be solved by extracting protein directly from the plants that these animals consume: soy, peas, sunflower, and many others. Another type of alternative protein is lab-grown meat. Plant-based prote…

PhD Student Ida Kublanova: Why Photonics Is Like a Unicorn
…is field. My school specialized in math and physics, and during physics classes I particularly enjoyed working with glass that shone like the rainbow. I was also quite good at solving optics-related problems. My hope was that a career in optics would be not only useful, but also beautiful. Besides, photonics sounds very mysterious, it’s almost like a unicorn. It’…

Student Spotlight: Anton Mahenge, Tanzania
… fully uncovered the potential of AI and robots. Of course, there is a darker side to these, but if we can use them ethically, then I am sure that many of our problems will be solved. Do you think robots will replace humans everywhere? When electric cars appeared, many people thought that they would completely replace petrol/diesel cars. But that did not happen…

3D Printing Meets Biology: The Fascinating Field of Bioprinting
…at is anatomically similar to the original, and the restored tissue may, over time, be eroded by its own enzymes that are foreign to the recipient’s body. One promising way of solving these issues is the use of cell engineering to produce hyaline cartilage on a large scale, which necessitates precise and streamlined 3D bioprinting technologies. Viktoria Egorova, a…
