Abstract:
The "Federal Center of Brain Research and Neurotechnologies" of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency is the leading center specializing in neurology, neurosurgery, and medical rehabilitation for the patients with central nervous system disorders in Russia. The scientists and physicians working in the сenter well known both in Russia and abroad for their extensive clinical and scientific expertise. The center conducts cutting-edge research in the field of neurotechnology, collaborates with international experts and participates in interdisciplinary projects. Key scientific projects at the Center are focused on the development of personalized therapy for glioblastoma. In this seminar the audience will learn about the center's key laboratories, major research projects, and leading scientists, as well as the scientific conferences organized by the Federal Center of Brain Research and Neurotechnologies. Additionally, the speaker will provide insights into the Russian scientific landscape and the structure of postgraduate (PhD) education in Russia.
Info.:
Yana Valieva completed a four-month internship (2023-2024) at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) in the Laboratory of Biological Effects of Nanomaterials and Nanosafety under the supervision of Professor Xing-Jie Liang. This internship was supported by the Presidential Scholarship of the Russian Federation for studying abroad. She graduated from First Moscow State Medical University as a Doctor of Medicine. She is currently a PhD student at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Russia's leading institution for biomedical and physical sciences. Yana works at the Federal Center of Brain Research and Neurotechnologies, Federal Medical and Biological Agency. Her research focuses on cellular senescence in neuro-oncology and tissue regeneration, particularly how modulating senescence can advance therapies for brain tumors and regenerative medicine.
