LABORATORY OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Complex mechanisms of bioconversion of solid organic agricultural, industrial, food industry and commercial waste by various species of microorganisms and insects are studied. Special attention is devoted to health maintenance in the face of adverse factors with the help of biologically active substances. Noninvasive methods of rodent population control are under development.

Zootechnological, microbiological, biochemical, histochemical and immunohistochemical methods are used, together with physiological research using unique methods developed by staff, behavioural testing with visual observations, and computer processing of results.

Patent filings and normative and technological documentation are being developed in collaboration with partner organizations. Research is supported by the Russian Science Foundation, Russian Foundation for Basic Research, and programs of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences. International collaboration is carried out with the Monell Chemical Senses Center (Philadelphia, USA).
