Young scientists of the Institute Lapin Vladislav Alexandrovich and Kashnikova Anna Dmitrievna took part in the event.

More than 220 young scientists and specialists from 32 Rospotrebnadzor organizations, scientific and other institutions of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Ministry of Health of Russia from 20 regions of the Russian Federation took part in the conference.
At the conference, in accordance with the program, 58 scientific reports of young scientists and specialists were heard and discussed on the issues of improving the epidemiological surveillance of dangerous infections through the introduction of risk-based models for predicting the development of the epidemiological situation, epidemiological profiling of microorganism strains circulating in certain territories of the Russian Federation, gray -epidemiological monitoring and assessment of population immunity to especially dangerous and socially significant infections (COVID-19, plague, anthrax, brucellosis, Q fever, cholera, viral hepatitis, enterovirus infection, tick-borne borreliosis, etc.). The results of comprehensive studies on the distribution and mechanisms of the formation of antibiotic resistance in bacterial strains, including hospital ones, are presented. In the scientific works of young scientists dedicated to hygiene issues, the scientific and methodological aspects of assessing occupational risk from the effects of physical and chemical pathogenic factors, the influence of toxic substances based on nanomaterials and heavy metal salts were discussed. The results of research on the development of highly informative methodological approaches for laboratory analysis of the quality of drinking water and food products, including those intended for feeding children; the problems of the spread of cardiovascular, psychosomatic, alimentary-dependent (including allergic) diseases among the population of Russia and ways to minimize risks to human health are considered.
