Metal coordination complexes are often used as effective micro-component additives in agriculture. However, their poor solubility in water limits their use. The project is a technology for the production of water-soluble chelated complexes of trace elements (Mn, Mo, Co, Cu, Zn, B, Fe) to be used as micronutrients to increase crop yields. The technology involves the production of fertilizers in a "single" format, containing only one micronutrient. This allows for a flexible approach to determining the optimal composition depending on a plant and soil conditions. Solutions of various micronutrient fertilizers can be mixed together to create stable mixtures without sedimentation.
Currently, the range of food products is becoming more and more diverse. At the same time, the number of people with health problems associated with incorrectly selected nutrition, leading to the development of such common diseases as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (celiac disease and lactase deficiency), is increasing. On the other hand, the development of these diseases and the metabolic response on food are genetically determined. The contribution of genetic factors in development of these diseases varies from 40 to 70%, depending on the nature of the disease. Thus, elucidating the genetic causes of these diseases can help identify appropriate preventive and therapeutic interventions, including diet, to prevent the development of diseases or treat them more effectively. The current capabilities of genetic analysis make it possible to identify an individual reaction to certain nutritional components and prevent diseases associated with an imbalance or intolerance to certain nutrients. That's why nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics significantly developed in recent years, and a large number of studies have been conducted to determine the possible interaction between specific types of diet and genotype and to personalize recommendations for dietary disease prevention and intervention. A sufficient number of studies were accumulated indicating the benefits of taking into account genetics when choosing a treatment strategy and preventing excess weight, metabolic and nutritional disorders (including vitamin and mineral deficiency, lactose intolerance, celiac disease etc.). Platform for nutrition personalization based on genetic and personal data can help identify risk groups for these diseases, personalize their prevention and treatment, and increase people's involvement in improving their own health. We have developed a range of genetic panels with systems for interpretation and recommendations based on individual human genetic data. Our developments are based on the latest data from genetic research, clinical trials and gene-environment (including gene-diet) interactions. For genetic analysis, we use modern, highly accurate and high-tech molecular genetic methods: polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Personalization and consulting based on personal genetic characteristics will not only contribute to the increased effectiveness of treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases, vitamin deficiencies, etc., but also to increased patient involvement in their own health improvement.
A lot of radiopharmaceuticals for radionuclide diagnostics and therapy of a large number of diseases, mainly cancer, have been developed in Russia. However, a significant part of them are not registered in Russia. It makes them unavailable for patients with terminal stages of malignant neoplasms. In 2020 the Russian Ministry of Health issued Orders No. 1218n (12.11.2020) and No. 780n (31.07.2020), which provided wide opportunities for medical organizations to manufacture radiopharmaceuticals, including those, which are not registered in the Russian Federation. In 2021, a radiopharmacy (nuclear pharmacy) was organized in A. Tsyb Medical Radiological Research Centre – a branch of Federal State Budgetary Institution «National Medical Radiological Centre» of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. To date, the following therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are manufactured in radiopharmacy: 1) «Lutaprost-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical radiopharmaceutical based on low molecular weight PSMA inhibitor (PSMA-617) and lutetium-177 for radioligand therapy of patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer; 2) «Prostactin-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical based on PSMA-617 and alpha-emitting radionuclide actinium-225 for radioligand therapy of patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer; 3) «Hepatoren-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical based on human blood albumin microspheres (20-40 μm in diameter), labeled with rhenium-188, for hepatic artery radioembolization and inoperable liver cancer treatment; 4) «Artroren-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical based on human blood albumin microspheres (5-10 μm in diameter), labeled with rhenium-188, for radiosynovectomy of knee joints with synovitis; 5) 177Lu-DOTATATE - radiopharmaceutical based on octreotide analog and lutetium-177 for radioligand therapy of patients with neuroendocrine tumors. The radiopharmacy has all authorization documents for working with radioactive substances and for manufacturing radiopharmaceuticals for the needs of the medical organization. These radiopharmaceuticals are not registered in Russia, but the possibility of their manufacturing makes them available for treatment patients in Russia.
The high incidence of caries is a significant global public health issue. Caries affects millions of people worldwide and leads to severe consequences for overall health and quality of life. This problem is particularly acute in developing countries and regions with inadequate medical infrastructure. To address this issue, our project focuses on creating and mass-producing innovative caries preventive gels developed by Omsk State Medical University. These gels possess unique properties that contribute to effective caries prevention. Developed based on the latest scientific research and technologies, they provide high effectiveness in preventing caries. The project aims to improve dental health both in Russia and internationally, contributing to the fight against the global issue of caries incidence.
Vaccination issues in Russia have recently become increasingly urgent. One key reason is the insufficient education of healthcare workers in this area as most medical educational institutions do not focus on it adequately. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent the extension of infectious diseases and maintain public health. However despite its clear advantages, vaccination rates are declining due to a lack of accurate information and the spread of misinformation about vaccines. This inevitably leads to outbreaks of preventable infectious diseases. Misunderstandings or a insufficience of reliable information about vaccines often result in people refusing vaccination, which can negatively impact their health and the health of those around them. In the digital age misinformation travels extremely quickly, especially on social media. False claims about vaccines can foster distrust in medical recommendations and reduce vaccination rates. Therefore it is crucial for healthcare workers and patients to have access to modern tools like the "DataVac" web application https://vaccina.info/datavac. This application provides comprehensive information about vaccines including the infections they protect against, recommended ages for administration, contraindications and potential reactions. The web application undergoes mandatory expert review and is developed by specialists in immunoprophylaxis. Supporting and using "DataVac" can significantly contribute to addressing vaccination challenges and improving public health in Russia and Russian-speaking countries. The "DataVac" web application for searching information from official vaccine data sheets(package inserts) is an effective tool for addressing current vaccination challenges in Russia. It aims to increase public awareness, simplify the vaccination process, and enhance the interaction between citizens and medical institutions by making official vaccine information more transparent and accessible. Supporting and developing this application will significantly contribute to strengthening public health and preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Business processes of government institutions and commercial companies include a significant number of stages involving the manual processing of electronic documents (digital or scanned copies). Such documents include client passports, waybills, service requests, completed questionnaires, etc. These operations are usually repetitive and do not require cognitive functions. People performing these tasks become fatigued, make errors, and experience demotivation. Manual execution of these operations leads to the following: 1) Excessive personnel costs, including recruitment and onboarding of new employees due to high turnover; 2) Risks of negative financial and reputational impact due to human errors; 3) Inability to increase the speed of service delivery while maintaining or improving quality. The implemented solution is an integrated software platform Primo RPA, which includes robotic process automation (RPA) tools and machine learning algorithms for document classification and information extraction. The Primo RPA software robot performs all necessary operations instead of the user, formulating tasks for the Primo RPA AI Server module and using the results obtained to carry out further steps of the business process.
