A scientific meeting was held with master students of Baku State University at the Institute of Biophysics

Recently, an engaging scientific meeting was held at the Biophysics Institute with first-year master's students from Baku State University (BSU). The event aimed to familiarize the students with the activities of the institute’s research laboratories as part of their academic program.

During the meeting, the head of the "Cellular Signal Transmission" laboratory, Taleh Yusifov, delivered a detailed presentation on the research conducted in the laboratory. He explained the types, functions, and structures of potassium (K+) channels, as well as the methods used for cloning the cytoplasmic domains of natural and mutant forms of these channels. Taleh Yusifov also emphasized the importance of expanding research, enhancing cloning processes, and recombinant expression. International studies in this field and significant achievements were also discussed.

Following the presentation, students were introduced to the "Cellular Signal Transmission" and "Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry" laboratories. Junior researcher Fidan Gudratova provided a comprehensive overview of the operating principles of the equipment used in these laboratories. Students had the opportunity to interact with the equipment, which enriched their knowledge and skills in their respective fields. Special emphasis was placed on the technical capabilities of the equipment and its applications in modern scientific research.

At the end of the event, students were presented with individual work plans outlining the laboratories' activities and research processes. These plans aim to serve as a guiding framework for achieving more effective results in their educational and research endeavors. The work plans also clarified the upcoming phases of their projects and key priorities.

The meeting was of great importance to the students, providing them with insights into the world of science, offering hands-on experience, and fostering the development of their knowledge and skills for future research. The event also successfully sparked increased interest in science among the students, helping them evolve into more active researchers.
