Rostec is investing in the future of Russian biotechnology by launching a state-of-the-art 'Biotech Laboratory' at Moscow School No. 1529, named after Griboyedov. This project aims to spark students' interest in promising biotechnology careers and prepare them for future employment at the corporation’s enterprises.
The laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including advanced tools for working with nucleic acids, DNA amplifiers, microcentrifuges, PCR boxes, and electrophoresis chambers. This setup will allow students to not only study theoretical concepts but also to conduct real experiments, formulate hypotheses, and test them in practice.
The 'Biotechmed Class' educational program provides in-depth study of mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science starting from the fifth grade. Senior students will gain hands-on experience in project-based and research activities, as well as knowledge in related fields, through specialized courses in natural sciences and IT disciplines. In addition, the program will be enhanced by Rostec Academy's educational modules, which are designed to develop essential metaskills.
The project involves leading Rostec companies, including Shvabe, Nacimbio, ONPP Tekhnologiya, and OPK, as well as top universities such as Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU), Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, and MIREA – Russian Technological University. This collaboration will provide students with practice-oriented training at industrial enterprises and universities, allowing them to master cutting-edge STEM education methodologies.
Nikolay Volobuev, Deputy General Director of the Rostec State Corporation, emphasized the project’s significance in achieving the corporation's strategic goals:
"In line with Rostec's Development Strategy, we aim to increase the share of civilian products, expand into new markets, and implement technology leadership projects in the biotech and medical fields. We need bioengineering specialists, experts in synthetic biology, IT genetics, biopharmacology, and many other cutting-edge fields."
"Moscow is implementing a unique project that helps students make informed career choices – pre-professional classes. These classes are currently available in more than 70% of the city's schools. They maintain close collaboration with industry partners, including the country's and city's leading companies. Thanks to these partnerships, students gain up-to-date knowledge about the professions that interest them. Moreover, interaction with industry partners brings students closer to their future careers. They have an opportunity to establish contacts with potential employers, which can serve as the foundation for internships and future employment after university," the Moscow Department of Education and Science stated.
Studying in specialized 'Biotechmed Classes' will give students the opportunity to enter targeted education programs later under 'Rostec.Biotechmed'. Engaging universities in school partnerships will also help enhance teachers' professional qualifications, incorporating advances in modern science and technology into the educational process.
