Four students of Vyatka State University became participants in the new educational project “Research Track with Nanolek”. They were selected from 80 candidates - senior undergraduate and graduate students. The program was developed for students of the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology of Vyatka State University and allows future scientists to gain experience in conducting research under the guidance of experienced mentors at the Nanolek Research and Production Center for Pharmaceutical Development.

During the academic year 2024/2025, students will attend the Scientific and Research Center for Physics, where they will acquire skills in working with modern equipment and take part in the development of biotechnological drugs.

Alexey Ekimov, director of the Scientific and Research Center for Pharmaceutical Development “Nanolek”:

- We regularly meet with students of the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology of Vyatka State University, talk about the company and our developments, and provide the opportunity to personally take part in scientific research. The “Research Track with Nanolek” project is a real opportunity for young scientists to gain practical experience in our modern laboratory.

Vyatka State University is an important partner of Nanolek in training highly qualified personnel in the field of biotechnology. Today the company employs almost 200 university graduates. In 2015, an agreement on cooperation on the development of Russian biopharmaceuticals was signed between the company and the university, and in 2022, an agreement on the development of school education in the biopharmaceutical field in the Kirov region.
