'The Branch of Medicine That Our Developments Primarily Target Is Cardiology'
The application of mathematical models to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases contributes to the effective detection of patient predispositions and supports the selection of best treatment strategies. The use of mathematical models helps create new diagnostic tools and train neural networks to assist clinicians. Researchers from HSE University and colleagues from Saratov State Medical University are engaged in this work as part of the Mirror Laboratories project. In this interview, Natalya Stankevich, Senior Research Fellow at the International Laboratory of Dynamical Systems and Applications of the HSE Campus in Nizhny Novgorod, talks about what the collaboration has achieved so far.
Centre for Language and Brain Begins Cooperation with Academy of Sciences of Sakha Republic
HSE University's Centre for Language and Brain and the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) have signed a partnership agreement, opening up new opportunities for research on the region's understudied languages and bilingualism. Thanks to modern methods, such as eye tracking and neuroimaging, scientists will be able to answer questions about how bilingualism works at the brain level.
HSE and Vietnam National University to Establish Joint Research Institute
A cooperation agreement has been signed in Moscow between HSE University and Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU). The document was signed during the official visit of a Vietnamese delegation to celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and negotiations involving President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam Tô Lâm. The agreement was signed by HSE Rector Nikita Anisimov and VNU Rector Le Quan.
HSE and Tsinghua University Strengthen Russia–China Partnership as part of Cross Year of Education
On May 10, a delegation from Tsinghua University—one of China’s leading higher education institutions—paid an official visit to HSE University. The delegation was led by Qiu Yong, Secretary of the CPC Tsinghua University Committee, former President and Chair of the University Council, and member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
HSE University Signs Cooperation Agreements with Leading Chinese Universities
On May 8, 2025, in Moscow, in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, strategic agreements were signed between the HSE University and two of China's top institutions, Peking University and Tsinghua University. The event was attended by Nikita Anisimov, Rector of HSE University, Qiu Yong, Secretary of the CPC Tsinghua University Committee, and Gong Qihuang, President of Peking University. The signing unfolded during the official visit of the Chinese delegation to Russia, coinciding with the commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of Victory Day.
HSE Develops Its Own MLOps Platform
HSE researchers have developed an MLOps platform called SmartMLOps. It has been created for artificial intelligence researchers who wish to transform their invention into a fully-fledged service. In the future, the platform may host AI assistants to simplify educational processes, provide medical support, offer consultations, and solve a wide range of other tasks. Creators of AI technologies will be able to obtain a ready-to-use service within just a few hours. Utilising HSE’s supercomputer, the service can be launched in just a few clicks.
HSE Researchers Develop Python Library for Analysing Eye Movements
A research team at HSE University has developed EyeFeatures, a Python library for analysing and modelling eye movement data. This tool is designed to simplify the work of scientists and developers by enabling them to efficiently process complex data and create predictive models.
New Science: How Early-Career Researchers Reach New Heights
In the context of increasing global competition, countries arestriving to ensure technological sovereignty. Those who can ensure economic development and concentrate intangible assets and human capital are emerging as leaders. The growing demand for qualified staff leads to an increase in the role of universities and the demand for early-career scientists. The challenges and opportunities for prospective specialists in the scientific community were discussed at the ‘StratPro Platform’ strategic session at HSE University.
Neuroscientists Reveal Anna Karenina Principle in Brain's Response to Persuasion
A team of researchers at HSE University investigated the neural mechanisms involved in how the brain processes persuasive messages. Using functional MRI, the researchers recorded how the participants' brains reacted to expert arguments about the harmful health effects of sugar consumption. The findings revealed that all unpersuaded individuals' brains responded to the messages in a similar manner, whereas each persuaded individual produced a unique neural response. This suggests that successful persuasive messages influence opinions in a highly individual manner, appearing to find a unique key to each person's brain. The study findings have been published in PNAS.
