  • Cube Laboratories for Bacteria and Cell Experiments To Appear in Russian Schools

    ITMO University and the research and manufacturing association Prolab will design and set up mobile cube-shaped laboratories in Russian schools where high school students will learn to operate equipment and conduct experiments. Their findings should prove helpful in discovering new molecules and materials for next-gen cryoprotectants and regenerative medicine, as well as in preventing oil and gas pollution. Such cubes are already operating in two schools in Yekaterinburg, with one currently under construction at the Gazprom School in St. Petersburg, and five more scheduled to open in Moscow and St. Petersburg by 2025.
