Role of Molecular diagnostic laboratories is very crucial during the outbreak of infectious diseases. Rapid and accurate identification of the causative agent is critical in optimizing the appropriate therapy in a timely manner. Over the past years, the development and application of molecular diagnostic techniques has initiated a revolution in diagnosis and monitoring of infectious diseases. The emergence and re-emergence of several infectious diseases that can potentially impact public health worldwide has been a topic of interest in diagnosis of infectious diseases.

Despite their high accuracy, the majority of the existing instrumental laboratory methods are very laborious and insufficient in terms of quick analysis of the objects under study. A team of scientists of Samara Polytech design cost effective portable analyzers. The recent research results are published in the journal of the American Chemical Society. 

Today, the lost hearing can be restored only with the help of a surgical operation to install special implants. However, this method is not always effective. Artem Brazhnikov, a master student of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy and Transport of Samara Polytech suggests to solve the problem with the help of a vibrating glove designed by him. Most recently, a young scientist received a patent for his invention.
