Skolkovo Tech Strategy – BioMedicine (1) Computational and systems biology – profoundly different approaches to study biological systems, including complex data, in order to support both basic, as well as applied research involving discovery of new drugs and drug targets [high priority] Immunology and infectious disease - in terms of diseases caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria and viral pandemics, the role of microbiome in human health, and organized response to and treatment of disease [high priority, center in negotiation] Gene- and nano-medicine - impacting the understanding of disease, therapeutics and drug delivery [high priority, center in negotiation] Regenerative medicine - stem cell research as well as tissue and organ fabrication [high priority, center in negotiation with ERIBA, University of Groningen]
Hey Charles, Where are you going? To the University of Groningen, always good to get some additional schooling THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
