On April 10, a master class on "Pathogenic microorganisms and protection from infections" was held at the Department of Biochemical Engineering.

The master class was conducted by Lyazzat Zenurainovna Musralina, Associate Professor, PhD, Head of the Laboratory of Archaeogenetics at the Institute of Genetics and Physiology, Institute of Genetics and Physiology.

During the lesson, the main groups of pathogenic microorganisms, the mechanisms of their spread, virulence factors, as well as modern approaches to the prevention of infectious diseases were considered in detail. A special emphasis was placed on the body`s immune defense and the role of vaccination in reducing the risk of infections.

Practical recommendations on compliance with biosafety rules, laboratory work and prevention of cross-contamination were also presented. The master class was accompanied by an interactive discussion of clinical and laboratory examples, which allowed students to better understand the applied meaning of the topic.

The students actively participated in the discussion, asked questions and analyzed real situations related to the spread of infections in the home and professional environment. The acquired knowledge is important for the formation of professional competencies of future specialists.
