As English is now widely recognized as the primary language for scientific communication, this page is only presented in English.
At the Bioinformatics Institute, each student participates in a research project
under the guidance of top experts from the fields of bioinformatics and biotechnology from scientific labs and companies.

The project involves virtual meetings on a weekly basis, as well as 10-15 hours of individual student work per week. Successful projects often lead to continued collaboration and published work.

Project Descriptions by Year
Each year, we publish the results of all Institute projects in an abstract book. The book has been indexed in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) since 2021. Additionally, students create a comprehensive repository on GitHub and a presentation to accompany their work. Students include these resources to their CVs as a demonstration of their bioinformatics experience and skills when applying for employment or further education.

Older project descriptions and presentations are available only in Russian language.
