The Russian Foundation for Innovations Promotion has summed up the results of the Participant of the Youth Scientific and Innovative Contest programme of the Foundation for the Promotion of Small Enterprises in the R&D for young scientists from all over the country. Three SSU scientists became the finalists of the competition with the developments related to the Medicine and Health-Care Technologies direction.
Engineer of the Spectral Laboratory, the Institute of Chemistry, Ekaterina Arzyamova won with the project entitled The development of technology for obtaining antitumor and antibacterial drugs of a new generation". As part of this project, it is planned to conduct fundamental research aimed at developing hybrid structures and applying them, combining both the structure of highly active antitumor compounds and the structures that have previously shown antimicrobial activity. The scientific supervisor – Chair of the Department of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry, Professor Alevtina Yegorova.
Assistant of the Department of Dynamic Modelling and Biomedical Engineering Alexander Kurbako presented the project on the development of a software and hardware complex for screening diagnostics of human stress by electrical signals of the brain. The device will register two electroencephalogram signals from unipolar frontal brain for a short period of time (about 15 minutes). The software on a personal computer will diagnose whether the person is stressed or not by registered signals due to an innovative methodology developed at the department. It is assumed that the hardware and software complex will be used by a wide range of people, including those without medical or technical education. The scientific supervisor – Chair of the Department of Dynamic Modelling and Biomedical Engineering, Professor Anatolii Karavayev.
Engineer of the Department of Medical Physics Konstantin Mashkov has been developing a method and hardware and software for monitoring the effectiveness of physiotherapy procedures. ‘Nowadays, there is no software that would fully allow monitoring the effectiveness of physiotherapy according to the parameters of ultrasound Dopplerograms, as well as LDF-grams. The developed software solves this issue. My project is intended for medical institutions and physiotherapists. The programme will significantly simplify the control process and increase the efficiency of the procedures. In addition, the price of the product will be low, since the programme is aimed at a narrower task. This is an example of how modern technologies can help in medicine and healthcare,’ Konstantin Mashkov commented. The scientific supervisor of the finalist is Chair of the Department of Medical Physics, Professor Anatolii Skripal.
According to the results of regional competitions under the programme, the winners will receive funding from the foundation – 500 thousand roubles for one year.
