In her speech, A.Yu. Popova noted that the new laboratory will allow for the prompt deciphering and study of dangerous pathogens that pose a threat to public health, and the key advantage will be a significant (at least 4 times) increase in the volume and speed of research.
The complex will include a sequencing center (genetic decoding of microorganisms), which will allow continuous monitoring of the circulation of pathogenic microorganisms in the region and promptly respond to emerging threats.
The opening of the new complex is an important step in strengthening the state sanitary and epidemiological service, developing a modern national laboratory infrastructure, which will ensure the safety of the population of the Nizhny Novgorod region and the entire Volga Federal District.
The staff of the Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after Academician I.N. Blokhina congratulates fellow epidemiologists on this significant event and wishes them further success in their work for the benefit of protecting the health of the population of Russia!
