Anna Budnikova, an architect from Kazan, won the Biodesign Challenge award in New York for the best research project. To announce her research to the international community, the architect was selected among 500 participants from 36 universities and high schools in the world. Together with the award, she received the right to publish research in international scientific journals. The Biodesign Challenge program is designed to support biotechnology students to solve global problems. Students' projects were presented to the scientific community on June 21, and before that (after selection) they, with the support of supervisor biologists, worked on their projects for half a year.
