The coordinator of the EU grant on the project # 6282jointly funded by the Ukrainian Center for Science and Technology, Prof. Geza Safrany was invited to Azerbaijan. He visited the Institute of Biophysics from 20 to 21 June 2018 and got acquainted with newly acquired spectroscopic devices. Prof. Geza Safrany held interesting discussions about future collaborative relationships with Professor Oktay Gasimov, Director of the Institute of Biophysics and other scientists of the institute.
Professor Geza Safrany, Head of the Department of Hungarian National Institute of Health, delivered a scientific report on “Gene Therapy” in the conference hall of the Institute of Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry on June 22.
The event was organized jointly by the Institute of Biophysics, Institute of Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry and Institute of Radiation Problems within the framework of the project “Synthesis and study radioprotective properties of complexes tryptophan with some biogenic metals”.
Professor Geza Safrany noted in his report that as a result of researches carried out on mice, gene therapy in tumor diseases, especially in brain tumors, is effective. Because gene therapy enhances the anti-tumor resistance of the organism through the immune system and is more effective when chemotherapy is administered at the same time.
