The second year of the master’s degree at RUDN Law Institute — Angelica Sandoval’s choice of major was certainly influenced by her father. He is a police officer, and as a child the girl listened to stories about the search for criminals, ambushes, chases and shootings. The key word is “the girl”, so despite father’s influence, the decision to study criminology looks a little bit extravagant. Especially when the training takes place literally on the other side of the world, in Russia. Although, if you look at it, everything turns out logical: childhood dreams, life goals — in RUDN Angelica managed to find everything she wanted.

Chemists from RUDN University synthesized soluble biopolymers based on chitin from crab shells. Together with palladium, they form effective catalysts for organic reactions, and their nanoparticles can be re-used over ten times.

Having conducted a large-scale study, a team of scientists improved the classification of human diurnal activity and suggested using 6 chronotypes instead of just ’early birds’ and ’night owls’. Two thousand participants, including the employees of the Institute of Medicine of RUDN University, were tested in the course of the research.

December 7, the results of UI GreenMetric 2020, the world ranking of the environmental sustainability of universities are presented.

RUDN University is also recognized as the most active national coordinator of the UI Greenmetric World University Rankings network. Only one university in the world receives this award every year.

If you’re searching for an example of “sibling goals”, look at Rima and Mohammed Lafi. Rima is a year younger, but you can’t feel the age gap, because they’re doing the same course at the Institute of Medicine at RUDN University; they speak synchronously and tell the same jokes. “We’ve just been together for a long time, and everyone thinks we’re twins”, Rima laughs.

Yakov Kuzyakov, a well-known soil scientist, a leading scientist at RUDN Agricultural and Technological Institute and a professor at the King Saud University, has been awarded the title of highly cited researcher in the field of agricultural sciences (according to Clarivate).

5 years of excellent studies to be a doctor, speaking at conferences on neuroinformatics, helping the elderly, teaching biology to schoolchildren. At the same time, doing dancing, athletics, writing poetry ... and staying in love with medicine. Read about life hacks, cardiology and the first patients in Olga Primak’s interview before RUDN University A-student assembly.
