Bratenkov Alexey Ivanovich – head of the project office in Almaty "Adaldyk alany».

On 21.10.2020, scientists of the faculty of biology and biotechnology of the al-Farabi Kazakh national University met with a delegation of scientists from The research Institute of biological safety problems headed by Deputy Director General for science and commercialization, doctor of veterinary sciences Abduraimov Eergali Orynbasarovich. A welcoming speech was made by the Dean of the faculty of biology and biotechnology academician jurors Zayadan Bolatkhan Kazykhanovich. At this meeting, various issues related to cooperation in the framework of educational and scientific activities were considered and discussed.

Coordinators of the educational program "Virology" for doctoral studies are appointed candidate of biology, associate Professor Kairmanova G.K., candidate of veterinary sciences, assoc.professor Abeuov Kh.B., for master's degree - candidate of biology, associate professor Berzhanova R. Zh., candidate of veterinary sciences, professor Kydyrbaev Zh..

In addition, the parties discussed the possibilities of a collaboration to develop and implement currently relevant scientific projects and programs for the country.

110 years since the birth of Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Temirbay Baibosynovich Darkanbayev

The main goal Of the University of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is the development of the higher education system and the formation of an international system of higher education at the world level. Al-Farabi Kazakh national University is one of the members of the USCO international educational program. One of the projects created by the international University is "Double diploma". An student, who has entered the master's program under the "Double diploma" program has the opportunity to study at two different higher educational universities, get two diplomas and complete a scientific internship. It was for this opportunity that Batykova Zhuldyz underwent a scientific internship at the Belgorod State University, graduated and received double diplomas from KazNU and BelSU, becoming a master of technical sciences. According to the program proposed by the USCO, she was able not only to study at BelSU, but also to work as professors and teachers in Russia in a laboratory equipped with new equipment. Batykova Zhuldyz would like to thank KazNU, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, Department of Biotechnology for excellent opportunities!

The professors of the Department of Biotechnology Gaukhar Konuspayeva and Almagul Baubekova published an article in collaboration with scientists from the URAFPA, University of Lorraine (France). The publication covers the issue of the transfer of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to food of animal origin, which is an area of scientific interest and cooperation of scientists from the two countries. We wish our scientists continued success and prosperity in the joint training of doctoral students.

Project title: “Development of technology for producing biodiesel based on active microalgae strains”.

        Heаd of project – Bolatkhan Kenzhegul

Relevance of the topicof project: The project is searching for new microalgae cultures characterized by a high lipid content for the production of biodiesel. The use of microalgae as a raw material for alternative energy is an appropriate solution, because microalgae are the most efficient biological producers of fatty acids on the planet, as well as a universal renewable source of biomass.

This project involves the implementаtion of аpplied reseаrch to develop the scientific аnd methodologicаl foundаtions of the technology for producing biodiesel based on active microalgae strains.

The University of Bergen (UiB) is an internationally recognized research university. UiB is the most cited university in Norway. UiB has seven faculties and the Department of Biotechnology has a collaboration with the Faculty of Biological Sciences (BiO). Extremophiles and Biotechnology laboratory work with a range of extremophilic microorganisms and their diversity: thermo-acidophilic methane-oxidizing bacteria, Archaea, halophiles, strict anaerobes and hyper stable enzymes from thermophiles with potential for industrial applications. Physiological, genomic and molecular microbiology aspects are being studied as well.

From October 2019 to March 2020, PhD student of Biotechnology department Mashzhan Akzhigit has joining to the “Extremophiles and Biotechnology” research group under supervision of Nils-Kåre Birkeland Aida Kistaubayeva. The goal of this internship was to study samples from hot springs in Almaty region (Kazakhstan) using Metagenomic analysis as part of my PhD project and a part of project “Network for research-based higher education in microbial biotechnology” (CPEA-LT-2017/10061), which is funded by the Eurasian program of the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (Diku).

Role Mashzhan Akzhigit of at Extremophiles and Biotechnology research group was to perform a metagenomic analysis of water samples which were collected from hot springs in Almaty region (Kazakhstan) and also to carry out the isolation and description of bacteria with an enzymatic activity using state of the art molecular biology methods.
