Modern biomedicine faces serious challenges: how to improve methods of diagnosis, treatment, creation of new drugs, timely detection and effective fight against diseases? The answers to these questions are increasingly provided by molecular biology – a science that is currently undergoing a real revolution.
What is "epigenetics" and what does it study? How does it help fight serious diseases, for example, cancer? Why have the so-called "junk" RNAs become the subject of the most thorough research? How are innovative drugs born? What achievements in this direction do the scientists of the Academy have? About this and more – in the new episode of the program "About Science. Competently," which is released on the YouTube channel of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
The author and host of the program is the Vice President of the NAS of Ukraine, academician Volodymyr Seminozhenko.
The guest of the studio is a research fellow at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the NAS of Ukraine, Candidate of Biological Sciences Oksana Mankovska.
