As part of the course “Fundamentals of Biotechnology,” students of the Department of Biochemical Engineering took part in a master class titled “Practical Application of Electrophoretic Separation of Nucleic Acids in Agarose Gel,” held at the Scientific Center for Anti-Infective Agents.

The master class was conducted by Ilya Sergeevich Korotetsky, Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor, and Research Professor — a highly qualified specialist in the field of molecular biology and biochemical research.

During the session, students learned about modern molecular biology techniques, studied the principles of electrophoresis, and independently performed the separation of nucleic acid samples in agarose gel. Under the guidance of Professor Korotetsky, participants mastered the techniques of gel preparation, sample loading, result interpretation, and discussed the practical importance of this method for diagnostics and scientific research.

The master class enabled students to consolidate their theoretical knowledge through practice, develop professional skills, and gain valuable experience working with modern laboratory equipment.

This event became an important step in the training of future specialists in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology, contributing to the development of competencies essential for successful scientific and research activities.
