/ world today news/ Last month, the Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering (IBBFMI) at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) hosted the Fourth Youth Scientific Session with international participation “Biomedicine and Quality of Life”. The conference attracted over 30 young scientists, doctoral students and students from Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Medical University – Pleven, University “Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov” – Burgas, several BAS institutes and private companies with a prominent interest in the field of innovation. Scientific papers were presented in four areas: “Biomedicine and Biomedical Engineering”, “Biological Membranes and Biomacromolecules”, “Biomaterials, Cell and Tissue Engineering” and “Molecular Biophysics and Bioinformatics”.
The participants in the session had the pleasure of listening to lectures at a high scientific level by the invited guest speakers from the USA, China, the United Kingdom, Hungary and Bulgaria. For their part, the lecturers expressed their impressions of the extremely high scientific level of presentation of the young scientists and students participating in the session. The program also included presentations related to ethics in scientific research work, as well as good practices in responding to critical scientific reviews.
From the Chinese side, Dr. Yen Yen from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAF) took part as a guest speaker with the topic of the scientific presentation “Topological signal analysis: an approach to research the physiological state of the human organism through the form of data’. As a follow-up to this topic, Associate Professor Yu-shi Liu from the same institute presented his work on the application of topological processing methods to gait analysis.
Assoc. Dr. Anelia Kostadinova from IBFBMI, head of a joint project between IBFBMI and SIAT, provided additional information about the participation of the Chinese scientists: “Our guests from SIAT were invited to participate in the scientific session as part of an ongoing initiative for scientific cooperation between The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, which found expression in a joint project between IBFBMI and SIAT on the topic “Synthesis and application methods of graphene sensors for registering planar pressure in wearable devices” (IC-CN/01/2023-2025 ). On the part of BAS, in addition to scientists from IBFBMI, scientists from the Institute of Electronics and the Institute of Microbiology are also participating in the project. I would like to note that the research of our institutes in this multidisciplinary topic is also developing on its own independent trajectory, growing into an independent project on the topic “Research of motor and physiological activity using biocompatible and antibacterial multimodal sensors” (No. KP-06-Н77 /13), supported by the Scientific Research Fund.
Prof. Galya Staneva from IBFBMI emphasized the importance of the cooperation between KAN and BAS: “This joint project provides an international academic environment that serves as an incubator for the new generations of scientists of our two countries. We sincerely believe that the cooperation between the two academies will deepen, leading to innovative scientific achievements with added value for humanity. This initiative not only draws strength from the rich scientific traditions of the two academies, but also embodies the synergy of two ancient cultures in the pursuit of innovation while safeguarding universal human values. We believe that this collaboration will promote other scientific initiatives as well.”
