Altai Krai official website: Altai State University biotechnological project became the winner of the Start program
The results of the Start program carried out by the Innovation Promotion Foundation have become known. In 2020, four projects were received from Altai Krai, one of them was noted in the direction of Biotechnology.
The winning project "Development of an industrial producer of recombinant angiogenin in the Bacillus subtilis system" was presented by a first-year postgraduate student, junior researcher at Altai State University Ksenia Starozhilova. It is related to pharmaceuticals. Obtaining an angiogenin product will allow it to be used as the main component of regenerating (healing) ointments and gels, the Ministry of Economic Development of Altai Krai explains.
On the basis of the project, a small innovative enterprise will be opened, which will devote the next year to research and development work. They plan to cooperate with the Papa Gena design bureau of Altai State University.
As noted by the department, in 2018 Ksenia Starozhilova already became the winner of the Umnik (“smart” in Russian) program of the Foundation for the Promotion of Innovations with the project "Development of a recombinant thermostable highly efficient α-amylase".
