No lab coats, no stethoscopes — just code that learns what’s happening inside your head

The InteRussia AI track in Novosibirsk wrapped up with two full-fledged research projects. Both teams worked on ways to apply artificial intelligence to the analysis of brain pathologies — from tumors to tissue damage.

What they worked on

Split into international teams, they explored how neural networks can process thousands of brain images — detecting tumors, degenerative lesions, and damaged tissue. Their models aimed to support doctors in identifying affected areas faster and more accurately.

Each InteRussia fellowship ends differently. This one ended with working code, a sharper understanding of medical AI, and a shared sense of purpose.

If you think everything in Russia happens in Moscow — think again. Science had other plans ⚙️

In June, Novosibirsk became a meeting point for young engineers from Chile to Turkmenistan. Over four intense weeks at Novosibirsk State University, InteRussia fellows worked on projects in artificial intelligence for medicine and quantum technologies in electronics and photonics.

Here’s what filled their schedules (and their notebooks):

🔬 Visits to the Technopark of Akademgorodok, the Quantum Technologies Lab, and the Federal Center for Neurosurgery — where fellows explored how engineering innovations are transforming communication systems and high-precision medicine.

🔬 Hands-on training at Eltex, Russia’s largest telecom equipment manufacturer, and NSU’s Analytical and Technological Research Center, where they studied nanosystems and material synthesis up close.

🔬 Sessions at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics and the Earth Evolution Center — tracing life from DNA to meteorites and prehistoric fossils.

🔬 Project work in international teams — training neural networks to analyze brain images and help doctors detect lesions and tumors with greater accuracy.

🔬 A cultural track that included the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, a deep dive into Siberian nature, and even a day in a Cossack village — with horseback riding, knife throwing, and tea in a wooden house.

Every InteRussia fellowship writes its own story. This one just happened to be set where birch forests meet quantum labs.

The InteRussia fellowship in life sciences launches in Moscow 💡

On the same day we started another fellowship! The InteRussia fellowship in life sciences officially kicked off at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. This year’s program brings together specialists in agricultural biotechnology and biology from Azerbaijan, Ghana, Cuba, Nigeria, China and Turkmenistan.

The participants were welcomed by:

👤 Sergey Orlov, Deputy Executive Director of the Gorchakov Fund
👤 Denis Stolyarov, Skoltech Dean of Students

Throughout the program, fellows will attend masterclasses and workshops led by scientists in life sciences, hold meetings with experts and explore the rich cultural and historical landmarks of Moscow.

🎙️ As one of the fellows, Felicio Pedro Awuitor (Ghana), shared: “I enjoy Russia and I want to show appreciation to the InteRussia team for what they’ve done by bringing us together.”

InteRussia is not just a fellowship but also a global community of talented specialists in various fields.

It’s only the beginning — stay tuned for updates.

The InteRussia fellowship program for non-Russian specialists in biotechnology is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, and the Presidential Grants Foundation.

Experiment ➡️ Explore ➡️ Evolve ✨

Four intensive weeks have come to an end, marking the completion of the InteRussia fellowship in Biotechnologies — a program that brought young scientists from Azerbaijan, China, Cuba, Ghana, Nigeria, and Turkmenistan together to learn, experiment, and push the boundaries of modern science.

What changed over this month? Participants grew in confidence, expanded their scientific toolkit, and transformed curiosity into practical, testable ideas.

What else did they uncover along the way?

⭕️Learned from leading experts in plant genetics, molecular biology, computational biology, and biomedical mass spectrometry
⭕️Stepped inside the most advanced laboratories and cutting-edge research spaces of Skoltech
⭕️Explored Moscow's theatres, history, architecture, and cultural traditions
⭕️Applied their new knowledge directly, preparing and defending original research projects

More than just training, the fellowship was about expanding perspectives, forging international connections, and seeing how ideas flourish when shared.

If you’re inspired by global collaboration in science — if you want to challenge yourself, explore new fields, and join a community that grows together — stay tuned 🌺
