Research & Expertise

Researchers from the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology at the Higher School of Economics conducted a joint study with colleagues from National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Center for Digital Biodesign and Personalized Health Care (Sechenov University) and Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, dedicated to the study of the link between low expression of the IGFBP6, ELOVL5 genes and lipid metabolism in breast cancer cells. The results of the study will be published in the journal Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences.

On January 10, the first laboratory seminar of the new year was held. The discussion focused on exploring the factors that influence genetic testing decisions in four countries.

Elena Iarskaia-Smirnova, Head of the International Laboratory for Social Integration Research, delivered a guest online lecture "A Profession of a Social Worker: a sociologist's view" at the Faculty of Social Work at the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian State University in Astana, Kazakhstan, on January 18. 

Congratulations to our talented Research Assistants on winning the scholarships named after famous and outstanding scholars for HSE students!
