In recent years, the arsenal of modern medicine has been replenished with various immunotherapeutic drugs and hi-tech medications that use the latest genetic engineering and stem-cell technologies, which has opened a new era in the treatment of human diseases that were previously incurable. This is in part due to the discovery of methods for modifying animal genomes, as well as to the creation of models of human diseases that are close to the real mechanisms of pathogenesis. One of the foundations for the development of this area of biomedicine is the so-called humanization (anthropomorphization) of lab animals, predominantly mice, where specific genes and entire cell populations are replaced with human genes or cells. The humanization of animals leads to improved modelling of the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, as well as in vivo testing of the effects of advanced technologies and innovative drugs that require species-specific targeting of certain genes and cells. Why are humanized models of diseases needed? Why are the lab animal models that were used in the past unsuitable for developing advanced treatment strategies? What does the process of humanizing lab animals look like? What new methods of genome editing have emerged?Roll up

To ensure its further economic development, Russia needs to tap into new sources of growth that simultaneously address global challenges, build on its unique territorial advantages, and establish the country’s technological leadership. One such strategic source is the ocean economy – a broad range of industries and technologies related to the sustainable development of the ocean. The OECD estimates that the ocean economy’s contribution to global GDP could double by 2030 and reach USD 3 trillion. This trend opens a historic window of opportunity for Russia, which boasts the world’s longest coastline, abundant bioresources, and a strong scientific legacy. However, to date, Russian Ocean Tech has yet to emerge as a unified industry and only includes a collection of disparate projects. This session will provide a key platform for launching a national discussion about the emergence of the ocean economy as a new source of growth. The results of the unique analytical report ‘Ocean Tech in Russia 2025: Prerequisites, Reality, and Prospects’ will be publicly presented for the first time at the session. How can Russia transition from a raw materials-based model of ocean development to a technological one? How can Russia create a competitive ecosystem that brings together science, business, government, and investment, and secure its status as a global hub for sustainable marine technologies?Roll up
