Polytechnic University scientists' project wins international grant competition

An application for joint international research submitted by a group of scientists from the Nanobiotechnology Research Complex led by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, together with colleagues from Uppsala University (Sweden), won the competition of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, announced at the end of June 2021. A total of 27 applications were submitted to participate in the selection for the provision of grants in the field of science for conducting scientific research by Russian scientific and educational organizations jointly with organizations from the Nordic countries.

"The topic of the announced project is 'Regulation of transcription by molecular barriers of various natures,'" commented Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Director of the Nanobiotechnology Research Complex. "The Institute of Cellular and Molecular Biology at Uppsala University in Sweden will work on the project together with our university. We plan that the implementation of this project will contribute to the development of new approaches to inhibiting bacterial transcription, one of the main targets for antibiotics."
