UNN scientists’ projects receive support of the Russian Science Foundation

Nine projects of Lobachevsky University scientists have received support of the Russian Science Foundation (RSF). The winners of the grants in the competition of small individual research groups  were announced on November 30.

Based on the results of the expert review, the following projects of UNN researchers were supported by the Russian Science Foundation:

"The study of molecular and cellular aspects of technology stress of high yielding dairy cows as a basis for developing new approaches to stress reduction with low-intensity laser irradiation" (project leader Anna Deryugina, Institute of Biology and Biomedicine);

"Analysis of the effectiveness of adaptive immunity activation during antitumor vaccination with photoinduced glioma cells" (project leader Victoria Turubanova, Institute of Biology and Biomedicine);

"Mathematical and numerical models of processes of nonlinear deformation and failure of permeable structural elements made of granular materials in interaction with shock waves" (project leader Anatoly Kochetkov, Institute of Information Technologies, Mathematics and Mechanics);

 "Development of mathematical models and methods for research of limit states and overcritical behaviour of composite elastic plastic shell structures with a filler under complex static and dynamic combined loads" (project leader Elena Nagornykh, Institute of Information Technologies, Mathematics and Mechanics);

"Identification and study of new signalling cascades controlling the differentiation of cortical neurons" (project leader Egor Turovsky, Research Institute of Neuroscience);

 "Sub-micron layers p-Ge/Si with high hole mobility for MIS transistors" (project leader Sergey Denisov, Physics and Technology Research Institute);

"Effect of adsorption kinetics of antifreeze-protein molecules on ice crystallization" (project leader Dmitry Vorontsov, Faculty of Physics);

"Investigation of the effects of spin charge conversion in ferromagnetic/silicon structures with modified spin-orbit interaction" (project leader Alexander Yezhevsky, Faculty of Physics);

"New bifunctional SNIPER molecules for selective ubiquitination of oncogenic proteins" (project leader Ekaterina Shchegravina, Faculty of Chemistry).

Congratulations to the winners!

The main aim of the competition "Basic research and exploratory research by small individual scientific groups" is to create and develop new research topics and to form research teams. Grants will be awarded for basic and exploratory research in 2022-2023 in all fields of knowledge of the Russian Science Foundation classifier. More than nine thousand applications from 81 regions of Russia were submitted for the contest, and 1,822 projects received support based on the results of expert appraisal. The Russian Science Foundation will allocate over 2.7 billion roubles in 2022 to fund these research projects.
