Professor Anna Sominina, Head of Department at the Research Institute of Influenza in St Petersburg, explained her ISTC project that develops a new method to determine the A (H5N1) virus, or swine flu virus.
Because new strains of human influenza can spread rapidly and have the potential to cause great loss of life, e.g., the so-called Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 caused between 40 to 100 million deaths, scientists have been working for decades to better understand the influenza virus.
The project aims to design, manufacture, assemble and test a novel divertor, which will be a key component of an experimental thermo-nuclear reactor KTM (Kazakhstan Tokamak for Material Testing), built in Kazakhstan in cooperation with Russia.
Since 1995, when the first Armenian project was launched, ISTC has funded 155 science projects to a total value of 36.7 million USD.
The projects worth 2,4 million USD are to develop a novel accelerating section for the new LHC injector
The GB approved the final Project Funding Worksheet (FS48). The ISTC approved 10 new projects representing over $2,064,595 and €385,000 in new funding for activities in Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia and Kazakhstan.
The aim of the meeting was to develop recommendations on the creation of methodological guidelines for redirecting former defense specialists of different professions.
ISTC in partnership with the Center of Immunological Engineering in Moscow and the Russian private biotech company, Biocad, hosted a tour of the modern Biocad production facilities in the Krasnogorsk region of Moscow.
Andriaan van der Meer, the ISTC Executive Director, met representatives of the region’s research institutes to review results of cooperation on international R&D projects.
