In conditions of the epidemic coronavirus infection and all difficulties in connection with it (the inability to visit the leading scientist and staff travel to his laboratory), the Сell physiology and pathology laboratory is actively continuing execution of the "megagrant"  "Mitochondria as targets in the mechanism of neurodegenerative diseases" in remote mode.

Olga Stelmashchuk (PhD student, junior researcher of the Сell physiology and pathology laboratory of Orel State University) has won the scholarship of the European Biochemical Society of FEBS (FEBS short-term Scholarships 2020) for a short visit (2 months) to the Institute of Neurology, University College London (U.K.)  to enhance her qualifications and conduct joint research.

An interdisciplinary team of Orel State University students working at R&D Center of Biomedical Photonics and Сell Physiology and Pathology Laboratory (Dmitry Stavtsev – PhD student of the Department of Instrumentation, Metrology and Certification; Roman. Gneushev, Nadezhda Golubova, Yulia Loktionova - bachelors in Biotechnical Systems and Technologies and Instrument Engineering), took part in the XI All-Russian Congress of Young Scientists. They successfully presented the results of their research work. The Congress was held online on April 15-18, 2020 at the ITMO University (Saint Petersburg).

Journal "Diagnostics" (ISSN 2075-4418, IF 2.489, Q2) is currently running a Special Issue (SI) entitled “Optical Diagnostics in Human Diseases”. We take great pleasure to inform you that this SI is open for submission (deadline – 30 September 2020).  We will be very honoured if you are able to participate.

Olga Stelmashchuk, the employee of the Сell physiology and pathology laboratory, has completed the scientific training at the Institute of Neurology, University College London as part of a “megagrant” on "Mitochondria as targets in the mechanism of neurodegenerative diseases".

March 2, 2020, the students and the staff of R&D Center of Biomedical Photonics, the Medical Institute and the Institute of instrumentation, automation and information technologies, presented their reports at the first international scientific-practical conference named after academician E.V. Schmidt, "Engineering and computer technology in biology and medicine" at the Karachevsky branch of Orel State University.

At the moment the employee of the Laboratory of Cell Physiology and Pathology (a graduate student enrolled in an educational/research organization) Olga Stelmashchuk has a long-term internship at the Institute of neurology, University College London (under the guidance of the leading scientist, Professor Andrey Abramov). The internship is carried out within the framework of the megagrant on the topic "Mitochondria as targets in the mechanism of neurodegenerative diseases".

12 and 27 Feb 2020 employees of the Cell Physiology and Pathology Laboratory completed the scientific training in Pushchino in the Laboratory of Intracellular Signaling of the ICB RAS as part of a “megagrant” on the topic “Mitochondria as a Target in the Mechanism of Neurodegenerative Diseases”.

A.V. Mamoshin, senior researcher at Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics, took part in the All-Russian Scientific and Educational Congress with International Participation “Oncoradiology, radiodiagnosis and therapy” (February 14-15, 2020, Moscow).

An employee of the Laboratory of Cell Physiology and Pathology of Orel State University and the Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology of Sechenov University, a research associate of the scientific department of Retinoids company Gennadii Piavchenko is the first Russian who was awarded the prestigious John Kiel Award. The award was received for potential contribution in the field of biomedical photonics and optics (for joint work with the R&D Center of Biomedical Photonics).
