Research & Expertise

An international team of researchers including Alexander Tonevitsky, Professor at HSE’s Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, found that pituitary hormones may produce different effects on the left and right sides of the body following a traumatic brain injury. These differences can accelerate the development of motor disorders. Researchers are trying to determine whether treatment that blocks the corresponding hormones can counteract these effects. The results of the study were published in the journal eLife.

An international team of researchers, including Artem Baklanov, Research Fellow of the International Laboratory of Game Theory and Decision Making, HSE University, has proposed treating greenhouse gas emissions as financial debt in a new research article published in Nature. This approach could provide immediate economic incentives for enterprises to begin mitigating the harmful effects of their business activities.

Vardan Arutiunian and colleagues have published a paper in Research in Developmental Disabilities "Expressive and Receptive Language in Russian Primary-School-Aged Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder".

The Moscow Conference on Computational Molecular Biology (MCCMB) took place on 07/30/2021 - 08/02/2021

The stronger the functional brain connections, the less inclined someone is to punish others for unfair behaviour. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers following a neuroimaging experiment. Their paper ‘Wired to punish? Electroencephalographic study of the resting-state neuronal oscillations underlying third-party punishment’ was published in the journal Neuroscience.

The results of the Russian Competition of Theses in Mathematics 2021 have been announced.

Researchers from HSE University have discovered nucleotide sequences characteristic of microRNA isoforms (microRNAs with errors). The discovery will help predict errors in microRNA behaviour and create drugs that can detect targets (such as viruses) more effectively. The results of the study have been published in the RNA Biology journal.

On July 6, a student research expedition to Komi-Permyak Okrug of Perm Krai, realized within the framework of NRU HSE program “Discovering Russia Anew”, came to an end. 

The article by the international research team focuses on global climate policy.

On July 7, 2021 at 14:30, a joint meeting of the All-Moscow Seminar "Expert opinion and data analysis" and the seminar of the International Center for Decision Analysis and Choice of the Higher School of Economics took place.
