Karazin Students Take Part in International Scientific Cooperation in Bioengineering

Karazin University is expanding its international scientific cooperation in the field of biomedical engineering. In October, the French laboratory Biomaterials and Bioengineering (U1121) hosted undergraduate students from the Department of Biochemistry at Karazin University for introductory research internships.

The internship programme covered cutting-edge research in biomaterials, bioengineering, and 3D bioprinting. Students were introduced to research on PLGA-based micro-scaffolds, a biocompatible polymer used in biomedical applications, as well as bioprinting technologies, modelling for 3D printing, and the development of model bioinks.

The cooperation involves exchanging scientific knowledge and expertise, expanding opportunities for hands-on student training, and developing joint research projects.

Representing Karazin University, Yurii Kot, Head of the Karazin BioMed Biomedical Research Laboratory and Head of the Department of Biochemistry, and Iryna Lysova, a postdoctoral researcher at Laboratory U1121 who helped facilitate the cooperation, contributed to the development of the partnership.

The internship provided Karazin students with an opportunity to explore current research in bioengineering and learn from the experience of French researchers. For the partner institutions, it marked another step towards developing joint scientific projects.
