HSE Development Programme until 2030

An international team, including researchers from HSE University, examined an unusual SARS-CoV-2 sample obtained from an HIV-positive patient. Genetic analysis revealed multiple mutations and showed that the virus had been evolving inside the patient’s body for two years. This finding supports the theory that the virus can persist in individuals for years, gradually accumulate mutations, and eventually spill back into the population. The study's findings have been published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology.

The International Laboratory for Digital Transformation in Public Administration staff members Elizaveta Dyakova and Anna Sanina compiled the Index of AI assistants for Public Administration.
