The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation has initiated a series of events aimed at media coverage of the implementation of the national project “Science”
Institute of Biomedical Chemistry became one of the first participants to update the facility base of leading organizations performing researches within the framework of the Federal Project "Development of advanced infrastructure for research and development in the Russian Federation" of the national project "Science".
The new equipment has already been installed and is being used for scientific research. The instruments help to analyze the function of proteins and to study cells in a variety of parameters. A cluster of computing servers allows you to store and analyze big data. The equipment allows scientists to participate in the International Human Proteome Project, which started in 2010 in Sydney. Today, more than 20 countries are participating in HPP-research. Russian scientists are responsible for the content of proteins encoded by the genes of chromosome 18. They have already found about 80% of proteins, but to understand their function, they need to conduct research on more powerful equipment. Now scientists can analyze the composition of biological samples with indicators recommended by the international community.
