Two projects of the young scientists from the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems became the winners of the JINR best innovation development competition
In 2025, five groups of the JINR young scientists got a financial support and get down to work on their projects. There are two teams from the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems: one of the groups was led by Aleksandr Selyunin, another one is led by Vladislav Rozhkov. In 2025, for the first time the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research selected proposals for innovations in research and development with high potential in industry, scientific instrumentation, and the social sphere. Groups of young developers consisting of 3-10 people, including scientists, specialists, as well as postgraduates and students from the JINR Member States, were invited to participate in the selection. The age of the leader, as well as the majority of team members, should not exceed 39 years at the time of application. The planning time frame is up to 3 years.
As a result more than 30 applications were submitted to the competition that is planned to be held every two years. The expert committee selected 17 projects to be presented in person. These applications were reviewed by leading JINR researchers and specialists. The winners were determined by the decision of the Institute’s Director Grigory Trubnikov, based on the results of two in-person rounds of project defence.
There are two teams from the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems:
"Development of deep tissue oxygenation measurement systems using time-domain diffuse optics (TD-DO),” supervised by Aleksandr Selyunin. The project team brings together physicists from the JINR Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, as well as physicians and chemists from Lomonosov Moscow State University. Within the project it is planned to create the equipment aimed at solving the problems of rapid diagnosis of circulatory disorders, including strokes, along with monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during surgeries.
“Development of micro-SPECT systems for precision imaging in preclinical biological experiments”, supervised by Vladislav Rozhkov (DLNP). The results of this R&D project may be utilised in applied biomedical studies, the development of radiopharmaceuticals, testing of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and in the problems of fundamental radiation biophysics.
Congratulations to our colleagues!
We wish them the fulfillment of their plans and the achievement of all their goals and objectives in the future work!
