Conducting field assessments to measure pollution levels - Theodor Bilharz Research Institute

2009 - Current

Conducting field assessments to measure pollution levels is a crucial part of environmental research and conservation.

Molecular genetic diagnostics and current practice: PCR and sequencing methods - Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences"

2019 to 2020

PCR is a powerful method for amplifying DNA sequences, allowing scientists to analyze genetic material even from tiny samples. Modern sequencing techniques, including Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), allow for rapid and high-throughput analysis of genetic material. These methods help identify mutations, genetic disorders, and even microbial pathogens

MicroRNA expression assays and analysis of miRNA - Institute of Gene Biology Russian Academy of Sciences

2020 to 2020

MicroRNA (miRNA) expression assays and analysis are essential for understanding gene regulation, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic targets. miRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Atomic absorption spectrophotometer in the estimation of heavy metals. - Theodor Bilharz Research Institute

2009 - Current

An Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) is a powerful analytical tool used to estimate heavy metal concentrations in various samples, including water, soil, and biological specimens. This technique relies on the absorption of specific wavelengths of light by atoms in a gaseous state, allowing precise quantification of metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic

laboratory biosafety basics and biosafety - Ural State Agrarian University

2018 to 2019

Laboratory biosafety is essential for ensuring the safe handling of biological agents, protecting researchers, the environment, and the public from potential hazards. It involves strict protocols, risk assessments, and containment measures to minimize exposure to infectious materials.

Identification of schistosomiasis transmission sites. - Theodor Bilharz Research Institute

2009 - Current

Schistosomiasis transmission sites are typically freshwater bodies where infected snails release parasitic larvae, which then penetrate human skin upon contact. Identifying these sites is crucial for controlling the spread of the disease

Identification of macroinvertebrates and their classification - Theodor Bilharz Research Institute

2009 - Current

Macroinvertebrates are animals without a backbone that are visible to the naked eye. They play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems, serving as indicators of water quality and forming an essential part of the food web.

Identification of various aquatic plants and snails of medical importance - Theodor Bilharz Research Institute

2009 - Current

Aquatic plants and snails play a significant role in ecosystems, but some species have medical importance, particularly in disease transmission.
